Answer to Janet's Question

If I was an artist creating a new piece, my thoughts and feelings of the time would be incorporated into the artwork. The picture would have no frame as to represent that I have no limits. Despite what the world might be and what my part in it is, nothing can contain my expression and creativity as opposed to a piece with a frame, being held back by it's boundaries as like in a cage. Oil paints would cover the canvas with greens, blues, and blacks, creating nothing but a random composition of colors. These choices do not represent a sad, dark side of me, but the cool, laid back one that is at my core. They would mix and swirl to show that my mind is at constant thought; always dreaming about today and what tomorrow might bring. I would also apply miscellaneous dabs of other colors such as reds, yellows, and whites to even more represent that the figurative mind I have created has not settled on any one idea. The lack of a definitive image would be to show that nothing is solid. It would show that everything I do does not have to reflect an object or any sensible image. This would be the brainstorm of the human being, in the middle the creating process and proposing and navigating their ideas to completion. The canvas would be as large as a living room wall to help further the point to the viewer that when the mind races and fantasizes, it is a big event.
