Another Painting Process -- Part I

I had so much fun publicly painting the previous painting "Fiesta Magic" that I decided to pull out another canvas and begin one of my "Hidden Messages" paintings.  This is a 30" x 30" gallery-wrapped canvas.  I painted the sides and part of the front with black to add a frame to the final piece.  I'm thinking I should try to restrain myself from using so much color this time, and lean towards the neutral colors, focusing on composition instead.  We'll see how I do.....I'm in love with color and use them like my emotions on a canvas.  Guess that's why my style is "abstract expressive!"
