Mixed Signals

Well, I struggled a little bit with the composition of this one.  The top layer was created first and was very busy; it was a failed experiment from which I loved the result.  (the oft mentioned “happy accident”)   But it was very busy.  So finding the right textural counterpoint for it took some work, and then some more work, and then yet more work.  It started as three sets of concentric circles overlapping and interfering with each other, which were then deconstructed with an alcohol distressed wash, glazing, another wash, sanding, splattering, more glazing, and more splattering.  I think it is done now, so I’ve hung it on the wall to determine whether I can live with it before I sign it.
