March 7

My fourth project had connected to my third by the way of the wood chips. I mixed the wood chips and white paint on plexus glass which I have used as my fourth piece. I covered the plexus glass and paint chips in a beautiful light blue acrylic and water paint mix. This piece is probably my favorite piece by far mainly because I think it is the most true.

My question for y'all is: Should I end the connection at piece four and start "free" art or keep making work that connects with my previous work?

I have connected my second project with my third by tracing the corners of my second project on top of the canvas of my third project. I used black to trace the edges because i felt like it was going to look best with the colors on the second project. My third project turned out to be a big black canvas with black lines (from the outline of piece 2). I also added the cut out wood from piece one and two because they were left over and i thought them mixed with paint would be neat. I mixed the paint and wood chips on a piece of plexus glass which lead me to my next piece! I compare this piece of work to the piece "Emboldened" by Megan Duncanson http://www.madartdesigns.com
I compare this piece to her mainly because she does unexpected work on big canvases like this piece.

I am starting the second string to my project. I have taken the wood plank I used during the making process of my first project, and I painted it with acrylic.  This piece of art is my first colorful piece. I used lighter colors, and green and blue to be calm and not loud. This wood piece reminds me a lot of this wood art that people are doing a lot of. I enjoys the texture of the wood and how well the paint went on it.
