"Explosion" Abstract Daily Painting

On my desk are a handful of tiny abstracts. They are ideas I've jotted down for larger paintings. But something happens whenever I try to develop one of those little ideas. The big piece seems to have a mind of its own and doesn't turn out to look like the little idea at all.

This is one such piece. It seems fitting that I would finish it on September eleventh.
