A quick soul searching followed. Do I want to paint something to express my thought figuratively? I guess I have already shown my preference since I switched from realism to abstract art. Abstract art gives lots of room for interpretation. If the palette of a piece of my work stirs up some kind of emotions of a viewer, or if the imagery triggers a thought, or if the composition provokes a question, and if such gestures lead a viewer to dialogue with me - exchange of information, viewpoints and values, then I am getting what I want. I want people to come to my work, look, stop, and converse with me, and see how I can influence their ideas more than my art does.
A beginning. I'm just starting something to happen. The outcome will speak to the audience itself, but I will happily narrate.
