Whenever I start a painting I like to connect with the canvas, run my fingers across it and beginning to apply paint. Yes, I start with my hands, any found objects near by and some palette knives. As the color and texture begin to build inspiration usually sets in.
Even if the painting doesn't work out the experience is calming, centering and even healing at times. no effort is ever wasted and I'm amazed by both the process and the possibilities. After nearly half a century it's still the driving force, lover and demon in my life.
