There are those points where you lose sense of self, where you are playing too deeply and richly that the moment is consuming you. Every once and awhile I lapse into this when I am painting, and my best paintings are a product of this lack of conscious awareness.

When pondering this, and how to turn off the parts of my brain that analyze, think, and worry, it became obvious that the strokes of my brush should feel like touching the face of a lover.

This changed things. All thinking shut down, and simple pleasure of movement and sensation took over.
My hope is to become more fluid in this switching my over anxious little mind off and just dance with colors.

I wondering, from other artists how -you- deal with this?

You by far are one of my favorites. I love your flowing paintings, and drawings. you work has its own style. a very beautiful almost surreal dreamy style. I love chagall, Odin Redon , and Toulouse la trec. You have qualities of their style in your works...i admire your work greatly. I hope you continue painting you are extremely talented.
