Artist as an Instrument





Everyone that has become completely absorbed in the process of painting has relinquished control to a force that takes over their thoughts and feelings.  This guiding spirit, along with the pastels, and the interaction between artist and each stroke on the substrate, are all powerful instruments in creating a work of art.  The universal force flowing through these instruments connects the artist to those who view the painting.  In this piece, I started out in control of the sketch but at some point, the process became passionately intuitive and suggested a new concept for the piece.
