From me to you...



My marks.   


They are just there, with 

no requirement to understand them.  


I believe there is also no requirement 

to explain them...

and some are almost impossible to explain.


Why am I telling you this?


This is not a deliberate plan to confuse you.  


It’s just the way I am,

and the way I want to work.

 

I like to be free to make my art.

Free to change my plan or process.


Even thinking too much about my 

painting process can be stifling. 

  The word ‘process’ gives an impression that there 

is a certain order or procedure to be followed.  


 A regular procedure could feel restrictive 

and might limit my freedom. 

   It may also prevent my work from

 growing or developing.


The word ’intuitive’ might best 

describe my mark making.




A picture paints a thousand words...

  

When I stand in front of this painting,

my immediate response is simply 

to wrap it around me.  


I do not wish to translate the scribbles,

 or understand the scratches.  

 The painting just ‘is’.





‘Red with scribbles’.


Oils and cold wax medium on 36 x 24 inch board.   

Made in my studio on top of a previous picture. 


A thousand words, and a gift from me to you.




Until next time...

Thank you for visiting.
