I plan things a lot or a little depending on the theme. I like sort of going with the flow and letting it take its own shape even if it goes away from the original theme. I like to sort of paint intuitively. This current one I just started making some first layers because it's simple and abstract and follows a process I found with the last one so i got a lot done very quickly there.
The painting is about massive irreversible type life changing choices and i'm trying to figure out what to paint in the different portals / paths. Literal or conceptual, if hasn't come to me yet. I've also been working on music a lot though so the art takes a hit from that too.
