My art at EtsyI was able to videotape myself painting this piece, but the computer gods do not want me to upload it. It's rather surprising to me to watch the process over again on a video. I forget about some of the stages my paintings go through. This lady started out as what looked like a tree growing in a boat. For many of my paintings, I don't set out knowing what it will look like or what will appear. I like to compare it to gazing at the clouds until you see an image. The paint glides around the surface until something is ready to emerge.
