This painting, "Through the Window of My Mind" was a result of playing with the watercolor media and discovering shapes and design, color combinations that were spontaneous as I progressed and became emerged in the process of painting, not thinking about the final product or results.

Following is a quote from the book, ART & FEAR by David Bayles & Ted Orland.
"Making art and viewing art are different at their core: The sane human being is satisfied that the best he/she can do at any given moment is the best he/she can do at any given moment. Such sanity is, unfortunately rare. Making art provides uncomfortable accurate feedback about the gap that inevitable exists between what you intended to do, and what you in fact did. To all viewers but yourself, what matters is the product: the finished artwork. To you, and you alone, what matters is the process: the experience of shaping that artwork.
