Ohhhh!
Allow me to collect myself and find some words.
Well, I think there is something to be said for seeing a painting in process! The impact of going from the soft grey "wash" to that slash of red was powerful. I felt like I was watching a drama in action. Part of what makes it so strong is the luminescence of the colors, which I gather from what you say comes from the layering and blending. That red looks like one big drop of blood... Sorry, I'm still struggling for words... but hearing the music in my head...
