About

A painting, to be lifelike is a suggestive process.
Forms emerge. Colors assert themselves.
Finally, the paint in its earthly wisdom begins to choose: No, that must go now.
Pursue this. Darken here. All is lost. Be bold. Brighter!
Finishing is exciting. The picture appears purposeful.
A natural thing in a playful state.
