It wasn't until 4 years ago while visiting the galleries of Santa Fe, NM that I felt compelled to explore painting.  I randomly chose paints, brushes, mediums and canvases and began experimenting. If a painting takes on an undesired path, I make a different choice  and throw on a different color. Then, when and if the original colors poke through, it's a reminder of the path the painting had taken. Each painting has a life of it’s own.  Sometimes I have a sense of the direction I want to take the painting. With others, I follow the path the painting insists on taking. 
   
Sometimes, it’s the smooth butter-like tactile sensation when pulling the palette knife down the canvas that I love.  Other times, it's how the colors interact with each other. Or-experimenting with mediums and watching the earlier layers poke through in surprising ways.
    
When a painting session is going well, I become lost in my thoughts and lose all track of time. It's a wonderful sensory experience and a departure from the otherwise detail-oriented life I lead.
