"My project is completed. I stand back and let the colors take me away. I am feeling spiritual in a sense of being one with the world. My labor is over and Universal Ties has just been born. I like the name. It describes exactly how I feel about it. How we are all universally connected in some way.
"When I first started I had no idea what would come out of it. That is usually how it works for me with abstracts, as it evolves it starts to take on shape and form, and I start to feel it. I can feel it when it hits me. It could come right away or almost towards the end of the painting almost like a bolt of lightening and there it is.
"The feeling of having created something gives me a great sense of joy and satisfaction. Then there is the “letdown” or the feeling you get when the creation part is over. But fortunately that doesn’t last very long as I get out a new canvas and pick up my brush and go on to the next one."
