Left brain, the right brain and my artwork…

For years people have asked me if there’s a connection between Physics and art. I wish I knew the answer. Lately I came up with a semi intelligent answer.
My analytical side (left brain) helps me to learn and teach art techniques. My right brain helps me put my soul into the art work. When painting I think I use both parts of my brain. There are times that I think analytically on how to get a likeness to an object. In my portraits or landscapes the under-painting, blocking out shapes, is done almost scientifically. But towards the end, I want my analytical side to be absolutely silent. This is when I am putting my heart and soul into it and get totally absorbed in the painting. People have told me that I look like a dancer with a paint brush when this happens. I go back and forth putting splashes of color and the world is shut down for me then, it’s only me and the painting.
Visit me at the AVArstfest, June 6th 2009, in Mountain View for a large selection of my jewelry. http://AVArtfest.org
