Red ochre dance

As part of my process I mix raw red ochre pigment with water and pour onto surfaces.  This allows the pigment to dry onto the surface un marked.  Depending on how the pigment dries, it cracks.  When it cracks it becomes flaky and depending on the piece I purposefully irritate it till the loose pigment falls off.  BUT, sometimes, I like to make the red ochre dance!!!!!!!  My paintbrush is like a drum and the vibration creates an exchange of decomposing and rejuvenation!
