My roommate is learning how to paint this semester. Last night she asked me how I paint. I couldn’t think of a more difficult question. I didn’t know what to say - “Well, I dip my brush in my brain and soul and paint everything I’ve ever come to know.”?
I pointed to a group of 5 diverse abstract paintings I’ve recently done that were lying on a table. “I paint like that. And that. And that. It’s always changing - there’s no formula.”
We went on to talk about the technicalities of making a painting, but i felt like there was a brick in my mouth.
Maybe i could take some time and write enough about how I paint to create a clear definition...
