Sometimes a painting sits in my head for a long time before I can get a chance to get into the studio. Life gets in the way. When I do get a chance to execute my ideas—which I have been walking circles around in my mind for days, weeks, sometimes months—such a painting can happen fast. I have been looking at the elements of the painting for some time, so I know where I want to go and what I want to see.

But even so, you reach a point while in process where decision-making becomes unavoidable—and what you have been imagining becomes a slightly or completely different reality.

You have to choose.
