The last few months, I have shared many of my childhood memories on 6 x 6" and 4 x 12" canvas.  People related to the small paintings of the little  pond I learned to skate on - toboggan hill where I slid until my toes froze and snow packed trails thru our own winter wonderland.  A  simpler time that we had tucked away and a little painting stirred up hundreds of memories.  As much as I enjoyed sharing them it now was time to move along with my painting.

I felt intimidated by the larger canvas sitting on the easel, naked just looking at me.  Sunflowers would fill the canvas and although I had painted them several times  these were looking tight.  I didn't like what I was seeing.  I stepped away and left it for a while.  Walked back into the room, switched on the light and wham, saw it with totally new eyes.  Picked up my knife and let it go...let it dance across the canvas as it is meant to do.  The knife can work it's own magic.
