Color possesses me. I don't have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter.

Feeling at peace this morning as I work on some small impromptu pieces and listen to cello music.
My goal for new work is to be more spontaneous and intuitive. Creating some smaller, more affordable pieces is a change of pace for me. It's a nice balance to the rest of my schedule that is filled with late night studying of the business of art - something I have had little time for in the past. I am inching toward a schedule that fits and allows my art to progress in a natural and unforced fashion.
My inspiration this morning is a small book about Paul Klee: Paul Klee - Selected by Genius . I find his watercolors and use of color in general magical. It seems to straddle an edge between child-like innocence and pure sophistication. He throws my kind of "happy hour" ...
Listening to cello while painting is a sure way to enjoy your time. Great goals you have!
ReplyDeletePaul Klee is a favourite inspiration for me. I saw his show in Paris a few years ago and it rekindled my love and respect for him.
Paul Klee was a genius.
