The Power of Now!

July 9, 2019

I’m pretty much a 9 to 5 painter.  I have friends whose studio practices involve working at all hours of the day and night, but that’s not for me.  I need to go to work in the morning and clean my brushes and go home at night.   And when I’m in my studio I paint!  My regimen requires putting paint on the brush and brush on the canvas right off the bat.  I don’t wait for inspiration. I don’t wait for my muse to show up. I go to work and know the ideas will come and the painting will happen!

Long ago I painted with my close friend Terry Nelson and in our shared studio our mantra was “Think it, do it”.  Forty years of art making later I might consider adding one word to the mantra “Think it, do it NOW”. 

Time is flying.
