Actually, what I'm trying to do is make something splashy for this show. I have a couple of 3'x5' canvases that I want to hang side by side, vertically, that present as a pair. I've been thinking about shape and color, but the details are hazy as yet.
What intrigues me is contemplating the mysterious slight-of-hand that will--must--appear at the end of the day to pull it all together and make it work. From this point in the planning, I don't know what will occur, but something always does for the painting to be successful.
Maybe it is precisely the hidden miracle that leads us ever on, both through the painting on the table and the next one taking shape in our heads. This, for sure: Painting wouldn't exercise its powerful tugging at me if I weren't chasing a miracle.
