"It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about." Lester Burnham, American Beauty The latest commission painting I did is just such an example of surprise. Even though there is a plan behind most of my paintings, the "plan" is not always completely obvious to me. Let's credit also the muses who were waiting for the moment to contribute. Painting blank areas only with water and then dropping in the color never. ever. fails. to take my breath away. Watching the paint or ink move in mysterious ways is magical (I say this a lot) and mesmerizing. Maybe a bit addictive. I can testify that for me, the painting of water is certainly improved if done so with teary-eyed wonder and amazement. Check out The McFarlane Commission. And enjoy the view. XO - Melissa
