A painting begins with an abstract idea. Initial marks and gestures come quickly without thought. The painting evolves- adding and subtracting layers. Harmony is achieved by the easing of visual weight- the lightening of composition. Relationships form between color, light, and texture- not explicitly delineated- to reveal movement and expose an expression that is more than purely physical.
