I begin by mapping out how many squares I want to work with. I then cover the grids with text using a fine line micron pen. In this one I used Haikus, which I write and keep in my phone notes. I added watercolor and then collage. The grids evolve as I work, but I intentionally place color and design to flow harmoniously throughout the piece.

I smeared with paper towels, scraped on with palette knives and used paint markers as well as used my brush. For me, right now, as a painter, I refuse to be pigeonholed: Traditional Painter or Abstract Painter - as my Hero, Theresa Girard says "I AM A PAINTER!". So after the general paint was applied I went in with paint pens and let the lines rip. I chose the path that is not the 'usual'.... and I guess that has made all the difference?

They were huge - one hiickory was leaning toward the house, another oak was totally hollow and a hazard. There were two more we considered removing, but in the end we decided to keep them both.
