Paint with Urgency

As I listened to classical music and worked on my latest painting I determined why my work has such movement and bold use of color. I now think it is my new motto... This motto you ask? Well, I will tell you. It is a bit aggressive, but then again so is my new view of my work.

Paint with a sense of urgency. Paint each stroke with intensity and purpose as if the gods were to strike both hands limp at any moment. Examine your work as though tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And last, be generous with color as if the world were swallowed by blackness and void of any color..

This is much cleaner than my original version that kept like a mantra in my head as I peacefully painted to Bach and Beethoven. My original thought went more along the lines of this.

Paint with Urgency, as if the gods were to stricken one hand-less and rip both eyes from the socket. Allow color to not only breathe, but sing from the canvas through the darkness of the world and echo through the blackness, illuminating the path. of worldly beauty and nature's true essence.
