I surf
I paint, I draw a longtail (a Bermuda sea gull). We ride air currents. At some point, I give up control. I break free of the graph paper source of calligraphy Into the open space of board and brush, I ride through foam, aware Of teeming life and layers beneath My brush, no outsider, strokes Deep inside the beauty, Folly and energy of this world. I begin to paint and draw, often as play, With intention but no plan. Charcoal, paint, board take on Their own life, start to breathe, Demand nourishment, direct me. |
