Sketching

I am concentrating on sketching freely so as to loosen up and free myself from any consciousness of working towards a successful end product.De Kooning's paintings often came from combining and overlapping parts of drawings. The forms have both a randomness and yet a purpose. Perhaps it is that many artists want to push the boundaries and do this by pushing apparently randomly outside the square. At the same time human nature is such that we have an instinctive need and desire for an order to give meaning to our life.
