Unpredictable Art

A few weeks ago I was into painting dancers. I created this:

Disney princess-like painting

Though I liked some of the colours and textures, it was a little too "Disney" for my taste (not dissin' Disney, it just wasn't where my headspace was at the time).

So I played, and ended up with this:

 top-down civilization, 9x12 on canvas

Seriously. There's no way I could've predicted that when I laid the first brushstrokes to the top one.

I love making art. It keeps me on my toes.
