Ohhhhh I’m so glad you got the door thing Ruth 🙂 And yes, the second piece is so different and I have no idea where that ‘vision’ came from. It just appeared in my mind.
And thank you Ruth for another wonderful comment!

Jane that’s very cool to hear!!
Like I mentioned in my comment to Diane, I often see these images but rarely do anything with them. Until now!

Thanks Diane! It was a new method for me and I enjoyed it. Sometimes these vague ‘images’ come to me. Occasionally I make black and white sketches of them but rarely get to the colour version. This time I got on it!!
I did listen to music and meant to include what I listened to in the blog so will go do that now! It didn’t affect fully what I was doing but I’m sure it all feeds into the outcome.

Interesting method & result. The second one appears to be more dramatic with the transitions of light and the intense color of the red squares. I’ll have to try one. Thanks again Gail for another thought provoking blog. 🙂

My process is exactly as you described, when I paint abstracts, and I love painting this way! So free 🙂 – Jane
