Cadence (4' x 15')

Just the first few passes, though I am excited by the possibilities.  At 15' wide, it is pretty expansive.  The notion is that the vertical intervals might provide some cadence, syncopation for the eye as it scans.

The base layer is a recycling of a collaborative brush exercise with my painting class a couple of years ago on heavy drop cloth canvas, though there is little of that layer remaining at this point and will be even less as I progress.  Still, I owe some of the vitality of the impastos and lines of force to that group of art students. Emphasis is on the calligraphy of the brush, the push and pull of values, the play of the analogous color scheme.
