Red line: A red line emerging from the deep burned in my mind and found its way to canvas after I began the "scraped" series. Since these had a particular unintended subject I have kept them separate. They are all scraped. In 47, for some reason I began scraping and reapplying the scraped color below after applying the first third from the top. In 48, out of nowhere, a network reminiscent of those found in fractured rock emerged as I painted. Both of these suggest future directions of intense exploration.
