Serendipity
Painting is seldom the product of a perfect plan.
Part of a healthy creative process is paying attention to what's happening and responding to the moment, looking for what my high school art teacher used to call "happy accidents."
|
For example: Serendipity is happenstance, the good fortune to discover that a thick blob of paint slammed onto the panel looks like a silver slug . . . and then turn that into the subject of the painting. |
That high school art teacher was Jake Jacobik of Perth & District Collegiate Institute. Hi, Mr. Jacobik, and thank you.
