'Surrender' - I love this word. It sounds like magic to me, soft, rolling, loving, good-natured. 

It means to give up, give in, getting soft, release resistance. I felt the mix of these meanings when I began this painting from a state of perceived 80% exhaustion. When I realized what I wanted to put on the canvas, I was briefly tempted to direct or influence this expression, then an inner regulator spoke up and criticized whether this was the art I had proclaimed I wanted to bring into the world? 

The best thoughts and intentions can turn into poison as soon as they become rigid rules or dogmas. They then become a vacuum. I know this very well because I have often observed this tendency in myself. Allowing is therefore another of my magic words. I allow myself, I allow myself....that sounds like coming home to me. The words feel like ointment on wounds. They are the acceptance of everything I feel inside me and the consciously willed stepping out into the unknown at the same time. An important aspect of being an artist for me is that I can allow myself to do anything. It is an exercise for me to be myself and to take the risk of being rejected. 

I allowed myself to paint what was inside me. I allowed myself not to judge too quickly, but to remain interested. I followed the joy of shapes and colors. I fell in love with the exhaustion of this figure and its inherent beauty. I didn't plan for so much strength to emerge. I surrendered.
