290/ June 25, 2011 - We begin: again.

“Where does the sea begin?”

Or when you paint or draw the sea, how do you start? Water has no shape even on paper. It can only be contained by a form assigned to her. An old painter from a book said that when he painted the ocean, he began with ships. Ships were the eyes of the ocean. Look for the outlines of sails in the horizon. When you know where they are, you can begin.

“Where does the sky start?”

To etch the moon, the canvas’s first occupant.
The brush gives birth to little stars.
