BALINOFSKI

GO…STOP!

This work started in an instant with no planning. Just me at the easel letting it happen, each minute being a revelation to my conscious mind. What it means, I’m not sure except something within telling me to “get out of the way. We’re coming through!” Who am I to argue with my inner self? But here’s the part that still has me in a slight daze. As the piece was progressing, it brought out all sorts of past moments in my life: encounters, travels, celebrations, highs and lows. On and on they came and went. Then, just as I started this piece in a jolt, something within had me suddenly stop. So there I stood rather shaken. Was this Balinofski or some spirit taking over and guiding my eyes and hand? I’ll not question the moment but continue my good fortune that art is my life. Even if at times, another existence wants to take part.
