When I paint, I am alone at home. Prepares the table and the Canvas for painting. Like a cocktail party with myself. I forget a glass of wine on another table. A half-eaten bowl of food on a bench. Paintings are moved around, make new friends. Put together and should be themselves enough. Back on the easel and something is added or changed. I paint on many canvases at the same time.
