The process of painting is truly magical. As I begin, I assume control and make decisions, but soon I become immersed in the process. The painting itself guides me, dictating what I should do, and I follow its lead. When the painting is finally complete, I am left in awe, unsure of how it all came together. How did I create that particular mark? Why did I choose that specific color? And most importantly, will I ever be able to replicate this magic again? "
