This painting felt quite true to myself, I was able to paint knowing I wanted to build layers and therefore no mark would be 'wrong' as I would only stop painting when the entire painting worked.
It's quite hard to know when to stop, I was painting in a way that is similar to how Willem De kooning used to work and he would work on the same piece for years sometimes. It made me think less about the end product and more about being 'truthful' to what I wanted to express.
