I love watching an image appear on a piece of paper. It is relaxing and thrilling to see in wet paint some aspect of a person begin to suggest itself. Sometimes I wonder where the painting comes from, whether it is some repressed emotion. something closer to divine inspiration, or simply a happy mistake. I don't know or really care as long as i have fun painting it. I have gotten more serious about it but ultimately for me it is about playing, representing things and people I see and feel with shades of yellow and red and maybe some thioindigoviolet
