Description

I don't always work the same way when I begin a painting. I am currently still working out a painting I'm doing of a photograph. I took it on Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida. I seem to be doing a series of this type of subject. This is is of several people having drinks in front of a sidewalk cafe. They have there dogs with them. I sorta sketched things in a bit loosely. I am still working out shapes and colors. I work a little here and then randomly move to another area. Sometimes this is because I want to allow an area to dry before I further develop it. Sometimes it is just because I am tired of that spot and want to work elsewhere. Sometimes, I am just working out with certain patterns and colors throughout the painting. Painting is organic with me. I rarely follow any particular rules. I often change my mind, move things around, change them, or take them in or out. I should plan better but I don't enjoy the planning. I just want to jump in and paint. It is the act of painting that I so much enjoy. This habit of not planning ahead often causes problems for me. I don't always know where I am going or how I am going to get there. I believe that this is one of the reasons that painting is so therapeutic for me. I have to work things out. It surprises me so often to find out where it takes me.
