the first 5 stages of work on 3 canvases in my studio this morning
the initial trigger was twofold: Diebenkorn’s notes to himself about how to go about making a painting

and there was a powercut

so I went with ‘tolerate chaos’ and also forced myself to not care about the first appearances of ‘prettiness’ and I didn’t ‘search for a subject’
