Falling into the background


I got a phone call while I was working on this from a gal wondering why I hadn't been answering the phone. It was difficult to explain that when I'm really "into" a painting, I'm not home. I've gone somewhere else and I don't want to come back.


Once I'd finished the vase, I was free to relax and enjoy the colors without worrying about where they were going. Getting distracted blew the mood and I'm not sure if I'll ever get back there. It's hard to explain to the rest of the world and I've decided not to try anymore beyond what I write here. We all experience art in our own way or simply refuse to experience it at all, it's not my job to explain it.
