On the 100 little pieces project

Well, I'm over the 30 days, but making progress. I'm now in the 70s.  In my defense, I was gone for a couple of weeks, and there is that little matter of life.  Plus still working on some of my larger paintings. 

But this is fun.  No pressure, just play.  And every once in a while I stumble across something that feels like a keeper, or at least something to explore more deeply.  The two I did yesterday are like that.  I even gave them names instead of just numbers.  They still have that unfinished feeling, which I like.  Today I did modify "Before" a little.  Originally, the egg shape was black, which seemed a bit harsh when I looked at it today.  So I softened with a bit of bluish glaze.  Not sure that's the color it needed, so it may morph again someday.
