texture, layers and scale

went to see mark bradford at the 
museum of contemporary art, chicago

gorgeous day in chicago

my fav thing to do is look at the sides of paintings. 
love to see layers and the artist's hand.



oh, all the texture, texture, texture!



and the layers!



the SCALE- so inspiring

 this work inspires me to go bigger and bolder. 
so.....
you better watch out!
