working with the tides of the time, just trying to perfect my craft, its just plain interesting sometimes working with the energies in my own mind and body. i guess we all make our art through what we experience or just know from our lives and environment; i tend to see the abstractions in my own visual cortex in my minds eye, and i try to put this down on some form of medium. i like the idea of pure abstraction being mathematically based, but honestly, i have no idea about any of this in a technical aspect, except i just find that these concepts of any of this even being true, is fascinating to me, and being a male, i guess its just in my nature to understand the hidden nature of things...

title “1218 aspect 1″... or “born in abstraction”... watercolor on paper, with pen, and gold oil paint.

At first i made this upside down (i didnt know it was upside down) but then i flipped it over just to the other sides of it, and saw that it was this angle (picture above) that it was really meant to be displayed. THE PROCESS is never perfected, except in the understanding that imperfection is the only thing that can really be mastered... all i can really plan on, the only thing i Actually have any control over, is the original INTENTION. The outcome is up to God, or really my subconscious mind. As a hermeticist, i find it completely fascinating as to what kind of interplay my mind is going to create. This is one of the main reasons i love painting so much, it involves all parts of me, and i really never know whats going to happen.

At this point in my artistic “career”, i am really just looking to understand the elements, the process of my particular participation is still being worked out. i can see how the simple act of even just doing the work, is a complex form in itself that can be worked on to higher forms of evolved standards.
