I enjoy making abstract work for it's immediacy. Sometimes I don't feel like thinking about what to paint and I'd rather just focus on mark-making and color.

Making these large works is a great way to bust out of a creative block. If you want to try this I suggest you:

1. Work large and quickly.

2. Remove rational thought and revel in the intuitive process.
