LeEtta LaFontaine

#4 Words Abound
The image began as a blind contour of flowers and a small manikin, the end result isn’t even a little close to the beginning. The process of starting one way to help lead into another direction is wonderful. Being spontaneous in the direction of this painting brought a fun and exciting vibrancy into this piece.
This painting was half finished when it became apparent that I’d been painting with my left hand instead of my dominant right. After doing a year of daily left-handed paintings I now shift between the two hands with ease while painting. Spontaneous and abstract works have more pleasing results for me when done with my left hand.
