Improvisation calligraphy inspired by Kandinky and Dekooning, Enso  and  the gesture painters. An expression of inner processes that occurs suddenly, spontaneously, unconsciously. It is an impression of "inner nature.” 
No predetermined idea or  plan  for the image. (Sometimes a faint idea that originated in  meditation.) Only a blank canvas, then meditation on the empty space. It starts ,somehow, and then contemplation on the colors and shapes that  spontaneously  arise.And on again. Consciousness is the muse.
I try  to stay out of the process. Allowing  expression to any  impulse  that arises,  trying not to judge  what is appearing. Sometimes I succeed, other times I  don't. That’s the dance!
The  image  painted and signed  and giclee printed with pigmented ink  on a museum quality canvas ,UV coated and stretched on 2 inch poplar stretcher bars.This Gallery wrapped canvas has a white border unless you state otherwise.Hanging hardware included,ready to hang.
Shipped in a wooden crate.
