I Love Paint...

one of the reasons I paint...is because I love....PAINT :-).

& the brush is the wand that can transform any surface into something magical

I would like to say that I control my paints and brushes...but I don't -
they control me.

paint always has something new to teach me

day by day it reveals it's mysteries to me

it's a slow - at times painfully slow - process.

Just when I want to whip up something real quick,

theres a lesson in patience and perserverance.

My lastest painting "street" has been evolving over the last two days

it's just a little wee painting, doesn't even deserve all the attention it's been getting

hours and hours of work

layers and layers of paint

intricate subtle details

but whether it'll be worth all the time and effort??

we'll see

it's kind of a learning experience

discovering little wee new techniques and ways to apply paint.

I like my surfaces to have movement and life

to get as close as possible to the paint itself actually coming alive on the canvas

am just a beginner...just a newb in this

but it's a hellofalottafun!
