I enjoy this process of building layers of color washes , scrapes and lines , partially hidden and peeking through . As in life , the journey often is not a linear progression . It doubles back upon itself and the steps must be retraced in a new way . In the most successful paintings , I am able to let go of control and trust that in the end a visual balance will emerge .
The goal is to recognize and act upon moments of Kairos .
