Tone Painting

Sometimes I like to paint-- expression of light and color and texture that resonates somehow. Abstractions are all around and the camera is a great way to hunt for them. It's like a dousing rod or radio antenna, you know there's water there somewhere. You just have to hone in on it. Trial and error, patience, experimentation. There it is again, open heart, open mind. It works in writing, inventing, entrepreneurism, anything. Smell it and dig. That's when the magic can happen. Maybe you're planning a legal defense for your client- look at everything at once. Open your mind and that's when it percolates to the top.
