Finger painting

[ceri]

I had a few bucks' credit at the iTunes store and picked up Brushes. Back in college, I learned how de Kooning planned his abstracts, and I was hooked: he'd prepare his palette for a realistic landscape, or still life, or whatever, and then do something non-representational that still had the color balance of reality in it. I've always wanted to try some dabbling with that concept, and now I can. Two simple renderings based on colors in my bedroom as I flopped out for a while this afternoon:
