Music , my favorite art form , is always present when painting , dictating the rhythm or colors of the piece I am working on at the time .
I rarely have a plan when I start a piece , it can be a single work or it can turn into a series . Always working on 2 or 3 pieces at a time to jump from one to the other . A theme might appear . But randomness IS the theme when it starts , recurring shapes or lines , colors , until I find what will lead the show or the next step . And on it goes , till a balance ( or imbalance ) is found .
