Third encounter with Jackson Pollock's 'Summertime Number 9A'

On my third encounter , I realised yet again that there were parts of this piece that I hadn’t noticed on the first and second encounter. This time, I realised there were purples and reds in the piece, hiding behind the blues and the large gestures. My attention also was drawn yet again to the large gestures. These fluid marks now appear to be more controlled than I first thought. I have been working on the drip technique in my own work, and discovered that you can have great control over these marks. As I stared at this painting I started to see dancing figure-like shapes from the marks.
