Behrens Angels turn to mud....

Well, I said this was an experiment, lol...I believe I need to retire this painting. One of my struggles is to stop myself from making mud- both in paint and in image flow. You see, This painting , although it had promise, has gotten too convoluted to be good. My colors are getting muddy, m having to blend in so much color to achieve the saturation of color I want. Also the Image itself is getting confusing with all the swirling colors and pushing/pulling of background depth.

So the next experiment will be to see if I can clean this problem up in a new painting.
