Asparagus Trees

Another work in progress...
I call this beginning canvas the orangey purple canvas.
It's actually more the orangey magenta pink canvas, isn't it?!




And here's the "cool colors" layer on top! What a change!
And yes, I have TOO many photos on my iPhone camera roll.
I think I see asparagus trees at the bottom. I don't know why
I think they are asparagus tress, but that's what I think.
And now, today (two weeks later),
I see a sort of bluish green dragon or a flying insect
on the middle left!

 
I really like the painting below.
This is after a warm layer of colors...
Do you see the red fish, a koi, perhaps? 
And the asparagus trees, they're still there!

 
Uh, oh.
The assignment was to add black and white.
I'm leaving this sit now because I'm not sure what to do next.
My beautiful koi has a black line over it. How DID that happen?!
The colors in the photograph below
are not really the colors of the painting...

 
I'm learning to look at all of these paintings with curiosity and wonder
rather than judgement or criticism (negative criticism).
I'm learning to let go of attachment to a previous layer,
I'm learning to sit with a layer,
look at one portion, and get comfortable...
sort of the way I'm learning to live with myself.
