"Concentration" 12x12 giclee paper print
About:
I think there is nothing we can’t accomplish if we approach a daunting task in a careful and thoughtful way. I love the way these big cats operate, with such careful precision and patience. You can see it all in their piercing eyes, so focused on the goal that nothing can sway them.
In regards to my painting process, I started to pay attention to how focused I was while I was working. Most of my life I was happy to throw caution to the wind and attack a canvas with wild abandon. But What if I didn’t do that? What if I slowed the whole process down and had the focus and deliberate movements of an animal of prey that must be fully present if it wishes to eat?
The painting process continues to be my most valuable teacher, and one of the biggest ongoing lessons is on concentration.
