the thing about painting is that your totally free
people say were free in this country but we all know that anarchy is the only way that we would be really free
and we are only free within our own abilities and attitudes anyways.
but when you are working in a painting
you are free to do anything
its all up to you.
we often home for freedome
but then when we are presented with it
it is hard to know what to do with it.
when im working on a painting i ask myself wha do i do now
do i have to do this or that
to make the painting finished
but then i answer myself with
who cares i can do anything i want im truely free
i dont even have to try to make the painting complete
and when you paint with this attitude
you will find that as far as abstract painting goes you end up with a finished painting quite easely.
its the non thinking that makes an abstract painting good.
when we have total freedome
we have no experience to know what to do with it.
its bettter to just paint
and not wonder , what am i going to paint.
