Patience

Flip it upside down.  The shapes will be more true to life.  The brush movements are limited by your hand--flipping the painting upside down opens things up.  The movements are still limited by your hand, but now those movements are upside down, and the whole painting looks more diverse as a result.

It might take months.  It might take years before this one is finished.

I think in Tropic of Cancer Henry Miller was describing the internet when he describes the book he'll write to change the world.

It might be done in a few minutes.  There's discord in the background.

I'm trying to understand this new process as it develops.  Is this sketching?  No, it's more like therapy.  I'm just trying to be present with what's happening in front of me.  I'm trying to observe.  I'm trying not to control.  I'm trying too much.

Paint.  Notice the paint, the texture, the shape, the color, the interactions.  Paint.  Notice.  Paint.  Notice.I suppose what I'm actually doing is painting, noticing, and waiting for acceptance.  The painting is finished when I reach acceptance.
