Another strange turn of events in artmaking is stumbling across the quickie that works. This is the flip side of the laborious turkey: the happy accident that lays itself on the canvas with a minimum of effort in the shortest period of time, a one-shot deal that gets it right on the first try.

I've mulled this over for the Blog in the past. I'm just reminding myself to take it in stride, because it's happening again. I must remember to keep a level perspective on what I make and the way I have to make it: It's never a sign of successes to come, but rather an unexpected, unearned treat to be enjoyed as one can.

As they say, "Even an old, blind hog finds an acorn once in awhile."

Ever onward!!
