Lazy Nights #5

My year in art, part 3.

Towards the end of March I followed Experiment 2023.1 with Experiment 2023.2. (I was not putting a lot of effort into names.)

In series 2, I still operated with the freedom of anything goes. But unlike the previous set, I started having fun. Now the struggle was not coming up with something new. I was full of ideas on things to try. Every experiment suggested two more things to try, and I was trying to go down all of those paths. At this point, the art is not ready to publish, just colorful sketches. Now I had to force myself to slow down on the wild experimentation and exploration and pick one thing to polish and finish and publish each day.

Several items in the series have a textured look. I bury detailed patterns in the images with a small addition of light and shadow. Two series followed, Textured Fractals, and Textured Scribbles with images that were originally planned as part of Experiment 2023.2
