Refining the sun/gesture motif — three more passes
Continued developing the recurring small sun shape with dark gestural marks. Each canvas testing a different colour temperature and surrounding palette around the same core image.

Warm orange canvas + dotted/striped studies
Pushed the orange-ground canvas further with diagonal line elements. Also developed two more compositions with dotted grid patterns and striped ceiling motif — testing pattern against open colour fields.

Sun motif — three canvases in dialogue
A small orange/yellow sun-like form recurring across three canvases, each paired with a dark gestural mark — wing, hand, or trace. Quiet, repeating image being tested in different contexts.

Unstretched canvas studies — gesture and erasure
Working directly on raw, unstretched canvas pinned to the wall. Charcoal smudging, taped grid lines, small red arrow motif repeating. Looser and more immediate than the stretched-canvas works.

New direction — orange ground, 3D render, sculptural object
Departure into warm orange/yellow grounds with a dark organic gesture. Also reviewed a 3D-rendered sculptural composition in blue, pink, and red — testing form before physical print.
