I get a feeling of freedom and exhilaration when I am in the middle of painting; layering, squishing, pushing…playing, as if I'm in a deep, cool, thick, mud puddle and I can stay as long as I want! Paint that obscures, shapes that appear…then disappear, color that seems to move to silent music, rhythmic brushstrokes that exhilarate my senses, ah! The mysteries of the composition take me prisoner and I go willingly!
