It’s a puzzle, a wonderful puzzle. Just to find the key. Like, how can to make color and depth and composition fit. Then, working the puzzle a key is found and it becomes the “wow” moment. Sometimes it is visualized even before the first strike of color, and then sometimes the work is finding the key just because you know it’s there. It’s very, very exciting. You think you know what you’re doing right from the start. You think you know the key to the puzzle. It will always trick you. What fun!
