Notes on what I have learned thus far about painting:

These images drop in from the recesses. I do not have a formal relationship with them. My hand paints them and later the images introduce themselves. Sometimes the wrong color and line emerge, and then I go in and move the paint around until it feels right somehow. This is really an enjoyable process. I think it is the same image trying to come through even though the painting looks completely different. I am uncomfortable leaving something unfinished; meaning only it is something I don't quite like. That's a very new experience, to insist on completion (knowing too that it is always still evolving). This way I can move freely to the next painting with fresh eyes and spirit, without residue.
