Beginning

When preparing a painting I don’t ask myself how to begin. To pose the question presupposes some sort of inhibition. I must free myself of all rationalisations. No goal. No orientation. I just want to paint. What do I want? … No more doubts? I gaze at the vast, empty canvas, it can only happen without preconceptions … I must be patient … cast aside fear … be courageous! I contemplate the risk of failure. Concentration. There must be silence! Finally! My thoughts subside. My brain fires up. I start to paint.
