I had wanted some sort of artwork for my Family Room for a while. The background is symbolic of the art process for me. I start with globs of paint and watch them slowly transform into an image I see in my mind. The quote is my own. The original quote was, "There are so few things we really get to control in life that we cling to the few things we can. And that's why I paint. I control the paint and the paintbrush, and I watch globs of color turn into an elephant, or an octopus, or a dog. And when it's all done, I sit back and smile, because I made order from chaos. And it smiles back." I wanted a piece of artwork that really meant something to me and would make me smile whenever I saw it. It is, of course, acrylic on three 10" x 20" canvases. The font is based on Giddyup Std.
