Flow....when we flow, when we allow, we will be open to evolving in ways we never thought were possible. In flowing you will paint what is needed by yourself for you to keep, or needed by you to experience the subject, or needed by someone else for their growth and experience.
I am one who does quite the mixture of painting, and it is what I am directed to do, that happens or takes place.. One night I wanted to paint something with bamboo, and I painted the background color and I was visualizing soft colors, tranquilty and I closed my eyes and said, okay now please allow me to do what I am to do. Well that was definately the end of bamboo. Out came all the bright colors and into a beautiful abstact painting, which by the way sold almost immediately.
Some of my paintings are very much realism, defined and precise, and are more in nature pictures, ie. animals, birds, some scenery, but the next could be an abstract with no real subject...more about color or lines or or.
I believe one needs to enjoy, and feel...allow your godself your soul to come forth and express. If we are trying to make something happen, it doesn't seem to flow the same, no matter what style we use. Just allow the communication from within to flow...in doing this, the colors are perfect, the brush is right, the texture and light happens. It all just comes together exactly as it should as it is meant, it is all in perfect order, without any stress, without wondering if you will be able to paint this subject correctly.
