I decided to take a break from my studies of landscape to be whimsical and experimental. I often fall into the trap of believing that my life would be better if I could just be more disciplined and focused. Turning myself into a robot, however, isn't a better alternative to being a little stuck. I sense that if I were more heart-centered I could exercise a light-hearted discipline, aka-devotion, to remedy inertia without turning my art career into a nightmare of pressure and other capitalist demands. I started these paintings by scribbling then looking for a picture in the scribbles...it's how I used to make art before I went to art school. It is really fun and I still get to finish them, we'll see where they end up!
