Another painting from the zone. It never fails to amaze me when I complete one of these. It is always a process of discovery and I can't predict the outcome ever! I've been getting more feedback from individuals lately about this series-above and beyond my 'usual' styles of painting. This is the most relaxing, non challenging artwork I've ever done. I just begin to paint...there's no color mixing at all.I just dip my trusty brush into the color that attracts me in the moment, bring it up to the canvas and it all happens from there. I hope to offer an introductory day long workshop in Saratoga Springs next Spring on "Painting From The Zone." Any interest out there? Hope you enjoy this one and thanks for looking!

To be perfectly honest, I don't feel like photographing my new work yet...and that is why I am posting these paintings from The Zone. It's convenient and I can still keep in touch. Funny thing about posting at a blog...especially a 'daily painting' blog. There's a sense of 'someone watching.' Most of my life I've sensed 'something' watching my every action and thought. It started when my mother began talking about God. What stayed with me is that 'He sees everything you do.' Well, I hope I've at least been entertaining...

Another creation from "The Zone." I hope you are enjoying these paintings as much as I do painting them! I've been getting such nice feedback on these so I'll continue posting them for a while....until I can get my 'daily' act together again. I am still waiting for my new website to be visible online and will make the announcement as soon as it is. There were glitches' as usual. I'm an Aries...absent of patience at birth...but have cultivated it slowly over the years to a point of near perfection. I suppose the lesson is in realizing what you have control over and what you don't. I do have great trust in 'perfect timing' or the right time for whatever it is to manifest. It's always in retrospect, though, when the realization of the gift in the delays can be understood.

This is another in the "Zone Series" but one which I gave a title to because there was a specific intention that motivated the painting. As I was about to begin painting, I got the clear impression to paint my brain...so here it is in all it's magnificent complexity! It is the 19th in the series. This was done a while back. I'll probably do another one....curious about what would manifest this time.

If you're curious about the process I used for this one here it is. I just focused on my brain and spontaneously reached for the colors that I was attracted to in the moment and began painting...and kept painting until I felt it was finished. That's it! Give it a whirl. You don't even need paint...even crayons will do.

I am seriously considering presenting a day long workshop in "Intuitive Painting From The Zone" Anyone out there interested?

This is one of my favorites in the series. It is the fifth one I painted. The process of moment to moment expression was still a very new experience. I'd always painted intuitively prior to this but in an entirely different way. We never know what we are capable of until an opportunity presents itself to explore...

I wanted to share some of my paintings from "The Zone" Series with you. These paintings are a radical departure from the work I usually do. I began experimenting with water based media on paper and canvas, painting spontaneously and intuitively from one moment to the next. When I begin these paintings I have 'nothing in mind'. I apply paint with the first color that attracts my attention...and continue to paint until I sense the painting is completed. This has been a thoroughly fascinating experience...enabling me to delve into deeper, more expansive levels of my creativity, imagery process and inner being......always in discovery...
I've decided to give these paintings numbers rather than titles. This one is the very first one I completed.
