I felt the need to come away from the tiger now. I've come to a point where I'm happy
with him. There's still a lot to do on him of course, but I'm going to go into the background
now. And I just feel drawn. I always work intuitively: what do I feel like doing next?
So this blue I have mixed up at a local paint store. And how I did that... I took a photograph
of clouds that I had that I took. And there was a section of the blue sky. And I asked
them to make that blue for me. So they put that on their special machine and came up
with this blue. So I'm using this blue for the sky and also for the base of the lake
and the river, which is what I'm going to do now. One of the things with wall murals
is you get a lot of splashes. So yes, logically, you should work from the top to the bottom.
But I don't do logic. As far as I'm concerned, spirit and intuition are not logical. It's
the feminine side. And feminine is not always logical, but beautiful and creative. When
I allow that feminine side to come out of myself into the work that I do, then we don?t'
have logic. This is just a very rough shape right now. What I have to keep bearing in
mind is that the river is coming from up in the mountains, meandering its way down. This
is going to be a lake. How are the mountains going to come behind it? So what I really
don't want is for the river, the lake to suddenly have to go uphill. So I've got to make sure
that I keep it level to the other things I've got in the other painting. And the only way
to do that is to keep stepping back and looking. So this will probably change here. And right
now, that's as much as I'm going to do for now. I'm tired. I'm in an Indian restaurant.
They serve good food. I'm going to have lunch.
