STORIES FROM A DISORGANIZED MIND

STORIES FROM A DISORGANIZED MIND

Don’t tell anyone but sometimes I just make stuff up.  It really is more fun that way.  At least for me it is.

Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I go into a painting with a fully formed idea and execute it as imagined.  Done.  Most of the time, the idea changes, develops, grows out of the process.  There is a dialogue between paint and painter.  A give and take that often results in as much surprise as intention.

Surprise is a great motivator for painting this way.  But sometimes I just walk in the studio, face the blank space, no ideas, no intentions or expectations and well, just make stuff up.  Don’t tell, okay?
