One of Us/Not One of Us

I've spent the last few months travelling and experimenting. Now I need to start proper painting. I don't mean go all serious and stiff. But just paint with watercolours and whatever other media I want with the intention of creating something, whatever that something turns out to be. I never know how a painting is going to look. But I need to concentrate on one thing at a time, rather than jump around like I have over the last while. Although it has been fun, but I have just thrown lots of crap pieces in the bin, and now I want to create new work that will stay. And, yes, Beara is still pulling me in. And the idea of "one of us"/"not one of us" playing on my mind.

Also, did you know that the words tectonic and architect are related? From the greek tekton, builder, carpenter, apparently, and the Proto-Indo-European root teks-, which means to weave, to fabricate. Hence also the connection with textiles and text.
