The Painting Process

Interesting Analogy here from Mr. Picasso in the following quote:

"I paint a window just as I look out of a window. If a window looks wrong in a picture open, I draw the curtain and shut it, just as I would in my own room. One must act in painting as in life, directly."

- Pablo R. Picasso

When I am working on a painting or drawing, I look at the work and a lot of times know exactly what I don't like about it, what I need to work on and what I want to add or change about it. Just like the man says, the painting is the window and I adjust it as I see fit. I Adjust it to what is comfortable in 'my room'; putting my sense of style on it, drawing from intuition and intent; it's not a completely conscious thing. Just creating and adjusting to what 'feels' right. That's a fairly vague explanation of my creative process, but that's what the work is for; to express what words cannot.
