the empty canvas…

There is a certain tension I experience whenever I am confronted with an empty canvas. It is not all that different from the feeling one gets watching a horror movie or thriller, knowing something unknown is about to happen. In my case, I think the fear factor is tied in with the fact that I, a relative newcomer to painting, am not always sure what I am doing with the tools of the trade. There is a lot of trial-and-error in my process. It will be interesting to see in the future, as the journey continues, how the empty canvas strikes me.
