Not this time. I didn’t follow a path to reality. Or to what I understood. This time there is no narrative. No representative intention. No rules. No requisites. Not this time. This time I went only where the paint led. Satisfied only what the color asked. Gestured only when urged to act. And it felt so good. It felt so very good. To explore without the restraints of subtext or intention. To go from hot to cold. From intense to gentle. From graphic to painterly. To texture. To relish just being there. That’s all. This time.
