To me, creative thinking (whether for artistic or practical purposes) DO WE NEED THIS PARENTHETICAL ??
when encourgaged, always brings great possibility to inform or transform. When I paint, it's more intuitive than technical., I'll usually have a basic idea of I use an intuitive approach to color and composition in my painting and just go from there. that further directs the work. I enjoy just that
' being in the moment' feeling of painting. Sometimes the process may take the work in a opposite manner in which I started, but my process never includes mapping out an end goal (or final imagery or something like that) you in a different direction then what you first intended. Water-soluble oils, watercolor, and to a lesser degree acrylic and pastel are the mediums I tend to gravitate to because they ______________ (allow fluidity? present challenges? allow you to solve problems in an organic way?)
My recent painting series
The tentative title/idea 'Sensing Some Treasure in Loss', is for a group of paintings showing focuses on different stages of recognition and discovery (after the an initial loss. , what is the journey, what is the gift from it). The idea is from a painting 'The Cocoon' I did that I'd like to expand on. It's one of the pieces I'll be bringing to class. The series is informed by previous work about With this painting, I wanted to express heightened awareness, a moment of 'knowing' somehow that you are being minded (? - I don't know what minded means) and guided in your life. ( By something other than self? By something outside oneself? By soemthing invisible? By Culture?)
It's also about the moment whenA 'veil' is lifted away, gaining greater clarity of a situation. Some of theAdditional work in this series will focus on stages ther 'stages' I'm thinking of are 'perserverance' and 'the return of courage'. etc. The other piece I'm bringing is a watercolor w/a poem. I'm still wondering if I should use both mediums for this theme or not.

Anna, thanks for sharing. I think the most important part of your statement is the end, where you begin to tell us about your idea for the series on loss. I would just refine that part and try to make it clearer.
