<h2>The Palette</h2>
|
|
<p>Winsor & Newton, gouache body. I grind my own pigments on Sunday mornings—cobalt blue from Lake Erie stones, burnt sienna from the clay pits beneath Warren. Watercolor is the medium of controlled surrender: you lay the wash, you guide it, but the paper decides where it pools.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Like driving in snow. Like raising a child. You set the intention, then trust the physics.</p>

<h2>The Music</h2>
|
|
<p>Coltrane's <em>A Love Supreme</em> plays while the first layer dries. The saxophone breathes the same way the pigment breathes: slow inhalation, sudden release, the note hanging in the space between.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I do not paint to capture the scene. I paint to remember the frequency at which it vibrated.</p>

<h3>"Van Dyke at Dusk"</h3>
|
|
<p>Road salt crystallizing on asphalt. The sodium glow bleeding into the horizon. Acrylic underpainting, watercolor glaze, salt texture applied wet-on-wet.</p>

<h3>"The Depot Silence"</h3>
|
|
<p>4:47 AM. Diesel vapor. Breath in the cold. The moment before the engine turns over. Raw umber, Prussian blue, white space.</p>

<h3>"Clinton River Ice"</h3>
|
|
<p>Not the surface, but the fracture beneath. Where the water remembers liquid. Transparent layers, each thinner than a hair.</p>

<h2>The Process</h2>
|
|
<p>One painting per moon cycle. Rush is the enemy. The brushstroke is a sentence in a language older than speech. I listen to the paper breathe before I speak again.</p>
