Spetem Circulus and Camera Fail

It must happen to everyone at some point. You start up the camera to record the action, and it decided 25 minutes in that its going to stop.  It doesn't run out of battery just stops.  It was a big bummer when I got up after painting this one to find that it stopped just when it was getting good! Well, you only make that mistake once.  This painting taught me the fun trick of setting a timer if I chose to record, because well, better safe than sorry again.

This Septem Circulus was done in the realm of the Morning Coffee. I was working with roughly the same color pallet, thought perhaps slightly brighter. I employed drips with paint and also with a spray bottle filled with water to allow the paint to drip off the canvas.  I also rotate this painting many many times to get different dripping effects and layer.

Instead of the hard lines and curves, I have circles, similar to Bathroom Series #1. For the circles I pulled out some cups, bottle caps, and medicine cups.  There's also faded circles made from small bubble wrap and two sets of seven circles in red made from large bubble wrap.
