Lately I've been trying to paint intuitively, letting go of fear and any preconceived ideas of what it is supposed to look like. Through this fearless approach I am discovering my personal self-expression and my ability to let the composition unfold naturally. As I said in a previous post, I am damaging the painting (with new techniques and tools) to give the layers of wax something to respond to. Every mark, every crevasse and line leads me around the composition and I am reacting to those marks. Through this process I am discovering the subject matter and how it emerges from within.
