"Painting is play/work. Usually, I approach a canvas with a concept--with varying degrees of clarity, and then it becomes moving paint around to see what happens. Hopefully, the forms emerge in a dynamic, interesting way. For me, there's a sense of capturing an unseen quality in the landscape—how I sense a place, or with abstract paintings, how I build forms around a felt sense. The truth in a landscape is in the moment—in the dynamic of changing light, shadows, reflections, weather. It's a wonderful process, creating a painting—watching it emerge. When I approach a canvas, I often have a sense of something I want to work into a painting—but what it is finally, that is always a surprise."   Quote by Ann Beth
