LAYERS OF SILENCE-ABSTRACT LANDSCAPE

Being present in Nature, and practicing deep listening, is akin to being present in the studio; being absorbed in the visual unfolding of images takes you outside ordinary reality and offers a world of curiosity and timelessness.

I cannot recall to whom credit is owed for this quote, but it is wonderfully descriptive: "When you paint intuitively it is as though you are singing a song while it is being written."

When you begin a painting or a road trip without a map, you learn to be comfortable with not knowing.
