There are days when too many ideas come my way; I spend time finding and sorting images, start thinking about colour and canvas size.  This is especially true when I'm asked to do a demonstration.  I enjoy painting in front of people, and I don't mind chatting about my process.  But focus and responding to mark making can be difficult.

I picked an image to paint from that was new to me.  It helps me to focus when something is new.

I wanted to give the viewers insight to my thought process.

These images speak a thousand words to the 1.5 hours I painted
