MY WORKING PRACTICE
I usually begin by just
putting paint on the canvas,
developing a ground; deep,
warm color, and a feeling
within that; the ground can

and of itself) can be alluded
to, gently; tweaking the
composition/surface, until...
Diebenkorn gave me the courage
to work in the improvisatory

the New York School left me no
option but to attack the
canvas with 100% egoic
savagery. Thanks, guys.

enough to shut up and let it
speak, good enough; if not,
