Dithering Is That A Word???
It seems that as I paint over older paintings I’m coming up with ideas that are all over the place. I choose different colors that the art piece had before leaving just part of the art in an area. Planning is not my juice. I attack then squeeze paint here there and every where. I…

Restlessness
Do you find yourself restless? Feeling uncomfortable? Right now I do because I don’t feel comfortable where I’m at. It’s like shedding of my skin and now renewing myself to the next level. The question when it first starts is, what is going on? Why am I getting kind of crabby and am disjointed…
