"There are times that when I put a new canvas up, the size of it is challenging. Painting is a release for me especially when I am doing paintings that required more details. So when I am feeling stressed or frustrated, I will pull out a blank canvas and large amounts of paint and will just allow myself to play....when playing it still means you need to take the brush and creates strokes or marks that work with the size of the canvas. I love a misty foggy kind of morning and when I was finished w/the initial application...I stopped. Looking into the depths of the colors and marks takes me somewhere that it is not required to see tiny details."
