Line Paintings - I have been doing these line paintings as a study and a form of meditation. The study is for gaining more control of the paint brush. The meditation comes from trying not to put to much thought into my next stroke but to just let the lines and dots and dashes fall where they may. I have done this style of drawing for many years, but now I am trying it with the brush.

The above painting is about 48"x 32" to the left is 32"x 32" The one below is much smaller only 12"x 12".
As I have said before when I think to much about how something should be I often never get around to doing it. This kind of art experience allows me to break from that thinking and just place line and shapes one after another until a space is filled and then step back to realize now I have something.
