I spend a lot of time ripping paper. No real project in mind. I love the feel of the different types of artisan paper. I sort them into piles according to color, piles of related shapes. Some I call "scraps," but these often end up in the work anyway. Then I play with the piles and think about how the pieces might be used like brush strokes on a canvas I am working on. I have to think about it awhile.

Often after a lovely walk the pieces will magically start arranging themselves on the canvas.

Come up to my studio for a closer look.
