Reconcile the loss of the painting - no matter how many times it may happen - with the joy of beginning again.

Respond to others about your work with equanimity.

Allow the brush to 'wander' above the realm of conventional judgement and practice.

Reconcile the loss of the painting - no matter how many times it may happen - with the joy of beginning again.

Rapid-collage prevents any elevating movement toward a fixed goal. To 'be nowhere' is to let oneself be.

Master water first and then paint.
