Mantra

As much as I love the physicality of painting.

Letting loose

Not having a specific direction in mind

Reacting to the initial act of the first colour and how it sits

On an auto pilot of reasoning

Letting intuition take the reigns

There is something to be said about its opposite

An idea, feeling or image

Formulated before painting

Either detailed, complete

Or foggy, abstract

A foundation

That may be a mantra to guide

While painting

For this painting I’m starting Now

My Mantra is as follows

A painting

That is Closer to

A valve that

Releases

pressure

I’ll let you know how it goes
