Creating Composition and Color

Artist X for August does not approach each piece with a specific idea or composition in mind, rather she picks a palette and lets the composition intuitively evolve. She says: "I work spontaneously, interacting with each painting to coax it into a piece that I can recognize as my work - hopefully, my better work."

But even that palette can change. Case in point: she had been working on a piece that just was not feeling quite right. Then she brought some sunflowers into the studio. Voila!
