The expression 'creativity is the process which gives meaning to what is meaningless' really struck home with me because that is what I want to show thru my work---the ordinary beautiful.
One of the reasons that I am a watercolorist is to see the surprises one is able to produce with the paints and water. You have to be open to surprise in these incidences, for sure. Sometimes they are happy accidents, sometimes they require extra work. In either case, it's worth the ride! It lives!

thank you! Dead wood is one of my favorites, too. Hope you have many ordinary inspirations.
