I recently had a discussion with a friend who was quite surprised at how I work. He has this idea that one starts with a theme and then creates around that theme. That is not how I usually work. I usually work with the piece dictating or telling me where to go next.. As you know I was intrigued by the blue color in the crevices of snow and started there this time, but perhaps the only theme I had was observation or sight or eyes in this miniature book. I still held firm to my way of creating and letting the piece tell me what to do next. I would say most non-artists do not understand this type of intuitive thinking. I suppose there are many artists who do not work this way either. That is OK. Whatever works for whomever is doing the creating is just fine.

Color choices are spectacular, John.
What a gem you have created, again.
John- wonderful piece- and I tend to work the same way. Even when I am working with prompts like I am for Februllage- the prom[t is the launch- I have no idea what I will do but I just start in. I find that when I have an idea and want the piece to be- well I don't often like it compared to when I let the piece just happen.
