part 2 - being and breath ...


[ untitled, unfinished, 2007]

i’ve always admired painters who have a predilection
for the direct application of paint - the immediacy - and the
courage to let it stand as it is; rembrandt, franz hals, van gogh,
twombly, and schnabel, et al ...
me, i like to ‘clean up’, identify the essence of a mark,
hone the expression into something more (or less) poetic,
lyrical, or a gesture of intent ...
maybe it’s a waste of time ...
