To paint the watercolor (Mind Pictures,) I search for the elusive image that appers from out of the paper itself...after I prepare my paper for this to occur, the possibilities are endless and I can paint in my choice of any image that presents itself...which is what I do. Other works that I have posted are created by conventional processes using various materials in a unique way...still, it's about the adventure and the mystery of creating. Each piece is a lesson I teach myself...
