As I’ve mentioned, I feel best, even blessed, beginning with a detailed sketch.

I guess part of the danger is an overly structured painting, but the intent is to move beyond the sketch, let the paint flow a bit … paint outside the lines as inspired. Perhaps I need to develop a looser initial approach … but I feel I get looser as I proceed, and don’t really feel confined by the sketch, rather, guided … it all works out in the end … ( … theory … ) :]
