Magical seascape # 89, Impressionism , Painting

My style: As an artist in the style of expressionism, I have gazed upon the profound power of a brushstroke, or any other painting tool. These past two decades have revealed to me that the decision to apply a specific hue, the width of the brush, and the angle of the stroke all manifest themselves in the ultimate expression of the artwork. In the throes of these decisions, there exist two choices: to whisk the brush with great haste or to guide it slowly and steadily. The latter of these options has illuminated for me that the slow and steady stroke breeds a more formidable expression. By seizing the time to relish in the process of creation, the artwork becomes an organic and spiritual experience. While the audience may perceive my pieces as having been composed with alacrity, in truth, I spend an arduous amount of time weaving my brush with an intense and thoughtful poise. It is not unusual for years to elapse before I make the next decision about color choices or any changes to my artwork. I would like to underscore that even the grandest and most momentous paintings of our civilization, the likes of which were crafted by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, required an abundance of years to complete and were frequently misunderstood by their contemporaries. I surmise that the might of a brushstroke lies in the artist's capacity to infuse their artwork with a sense of intention, purpose, and patience.
