Some years ago, I became fascinated with the textural
possibilities of watercolor. One can either control the paint
completely OR let it do its thing, and control it minimally.
I went in the direction of the latter....I want my paintings
to look like paint, cuz that's what it is!
THANKS for writing to me....and for your encouraging words...

Hey! THANKS for the FAVE. Some of my painting I take a year-later
look at, and ask myself: HOW did I DO THAT? Do you ever do that?

Cling film I have tried ~ without a result that
I liked. Probably I need to keep working with it...
but it's the stickiness that I can't quite figure out,
although it doesn't really stick that well to w/c paper.
As I recall.
Hey! Thanks a lot!

You've hit on a great, descriptive word:
Spearmint. That says it all!

Might be best if you look at my home page, at the grouping
of four stages of a piece.(Upper Left) This grouping is called
How to spot an Alien, etc etc That pretty much shows you
how I work: Intuitively, NO PLANNING, just let the picture tell
ME where to go and what to do next. Same way with The Reprieve.
Just start pouring paint, and let it do itself. Also, maybe you
could find a good beginner book on Zen. It might help let go a bit.
Who knows...it's all so..intuitive. And besides: WHO the heck can
plan anything these days? Ya know?
Love your comments,

Thanks Marlene! Your analysis pretty much nails it.
I let the color drift freely, then add other colors and then
STOP. And look where I think it's going. They don't really
do themselves, but kind of. That's the way I like to paint.
No drawings. No planning. Thanks for writing!

Not quite sure myself how this piece came about.
I don't do (illegal) drugs. Just pouring paint and
a couple of yards of plastic wrap... et voilá!

After I saw it ~ and then posted it ~ it had the same effect
on me...AND TO THIS DAY, I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW I DID THIS PAINTING!
W/C is a VERY elusive thing.

Thanks so much Holly. I have yet to check
out your gallery (which I WILL do) but I really
like your slogan at the bottom. You'd enjoy a
movie called The King of Hearts.
Enjoy your day...

MeFlyingFree In reply to richardcgreen [2012-05-09 16:05:27 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome
The slogan was a lark one day, but as it fits quite often,I decided to leave it
I'll check out the movie when I get a chance. I'm not much of a t.v./movie watcher.
You have a great day, also

Thanks so much, Rome. Interesting first name you have.
I enjoyed looking at your designs. Yours is a field I
dabbled in as an advertising art director for 35 years.
Probably a good field to start up your own business, IF
one can make it financially! Good luck and THANKS again!
