Passion for painting

I love the new black canvas; attacking it with dripping paint, just to give me some idea of the composition 
and to cover up the black. 


I love watching a painting grow. I use oils and just keep building up a painting 
over several weeks , with the finished painting often looking nothing like I expected.


I love how music sounds so much better when you're painting. 
You feel the music rather than just hear it, which makes it so much more interesting.


I love paintings that almost finish themselves. 
They're the ones that are finished quickly and just feel right.


I love paintings that drag on and never really feel finished. 
They're the ones that frustrate you, never feel right, and exist just to try your patience.


I love dancing by myself in front of the mirror, even though I can't dance 


I love the smell of oil paints.


I love how oils are thick or thin, wet or dry, light or dark, transparent or opaque..


I love the.. spiritual moments that I don't know how to describe.. or are they just the crazy moments?.. lol


I love sitting and looking.


I love pacing the studio, looking at things from different angles, 
turning things upside down, moving things around.

  • To conclude, I love painting......
