"Art is long. Life is short. A picture can become for us a highway between a particular thing and a universal feeling." ~ Lawren Harris

It goes like this:
An idea then a gesture and sketch
Execution on canvas, "starts with a broom and finishes with a needle"
You find the painting by digging it out
It emerges whole
Brooms to needles minimal and surreal
Suggested figures, horizons and spheres
Patterns with movement and ratios reveal
Pictures that pop with zeal
