On the first of each month I would start a new painting and paint it ONLY for the duration of that month. For 2017 I found a strategy to stay within the square format. In 2018 I revisited each month again, in turn, to work into them more and to break out of the square. The video shows the completed cycle installed in the Third Barn.
