Paint

Wow - so after about 2 years of nuthin... 2 years?... thats right 2 years of my canvases and paint sitting in various closets, attics, and now garages... I put palette knife to paint and slopped some color on a beautiful white canvas...

It was magical. I fell back in love. Three hours of Mule Variations and painting and I felt reborn - or at least relaxed and excited about doing more. I got a good start on something - I had a palette in mind, but just kinda went for the underpaint with no particular composition goal - but the expression felt damn good - following the urges, the tweaks, something so nice about the tangibility. Its in line with some of the stuff I did years ago - but definitely different - maybe better - we'll see - I got a ton of paint down in my session - and think I know where its going. Gotta move fast tho - try to wrap her on up soon - so she doesn't linger...

Picture isn't a great one - and nobody said expression had to be pretty - but so far so good - far as I can see... MAKE ART! (like that Scottish lad from Once, once said...)
