I started this painting last week because I've been installing for a while. I've known I wanted to create a painting for a while. But every time I've done a painting in the past, it's been like, OK, you got to make the painting that you see in your head and just make it come to life. But this time I'm like, well, I'm just going to do exactly what I'm doing in the art journal. I'm going to take it one step at a time and I'm going to let the artwork unfold as it wants to unfold.
