Yesterday, I purchased a 30" X 40" museum wrapped canvas. I want this series to be big. My goal is to stain this canvas and draw the sketch with charcoal, who knows maybe I will start painting it too, no expectations, just enjoy the process and hopefully it will become part of my daily life.
Well, I did everything I could to not start painting, did the wash, played with the dog, read "Wealth and Beyond", took a walk, mailed a letter, ate lunch. OK Janet, JUST DO IT! I put on my IPod and loved the music. It gets me going. I feel the juices flowing. I get into some form of ecstasy. Start dancing. Open up the drawers of luscious paint and start laying them out on the pallet. I make a blob of dark gray and light gray. Use only the paints I desire, less is more. I start at the sky and it is as if I am watching myself. The blues and oranges are vibrating and it is hard for me to concentrate at the same time it puts me in a state of not thinking. That's a good thing. I paint all over the canvas. Don't get stuck in one place. Take care to keep the balance. I painted for 2 1/2 hours. This is what appeared. I will put it to bed until tomorrow. I'll be back.
