Sometimes when I start a painting, believing I have a clear flow and direction, I am often surprised by the little voice that says, “stop, take a break, and look again.” Over the years, I have learned to listen to this voice. Sometimes, after taking a break from a painting, I will literally approach the canvas from a new direction. Perhaps the light has changed, or even the music on the CD player is different. A range of variables come into play. When I created the work you see here, “Woodland Spring” I found the painting that was waiting to be discovered by completely changing the direction of the canvas. I hope you like what I have created for you. Feel free to comment
