Crane Flight 2.0

I quoted Rembrandt in the previous post, yesterday? "A painting is finished when the artist says it is finished." Well, I need to expand on that a bit: "A painting is finished when the artist is afraid that if they do anything more to the painting, they will ruin it."

That is the case with Crane Flight 2.0. I was a little leery of using my "random swirl" process as the background for this version of Cranes. "Would the background become the foreground? Should the color palette for the swirls mimic the cranes palette, or be an independent construction? Doing what the colors tell me to do, as I usually do? Or should I bag this and try, as Monty Python suggests, 'something completely different ?'"

I opted to stop fighting with myself - just finish the painting for crying out loud!  So I did.

Here is Crane Flight 2.0:
