How To Paint


Start movement, freeze it, push in your clutch, go in reverse .

Return to previous work and break it up.
Analyze and then spin surface around for
pleasing new orientation.
Avoid overworking area. Avoid going pastel. Avoid lapsing
into non-commitment.

Indecision should foster jumping into a new problem
(another painting).

Eventually, discover or define the state of finish. Have
another resident prise canvas away from you.

Razor your works occasionally as a form of mission statement.

It is all about the action, ain't it?
This one is called "The Very (Thought) of You."
