"From The Soul Of An Artist"
© Mark K. Cottman

When I paint I feel the power of the Creator flowing through my body, focusing the energy to my hand

The wonders of nature, a baby’s smile, the sweet contours of a woman are but a few images I carry in my mind

I thank the Creator for this gift

For letting me free fall into the missing pieces of my life and fill them with the wonder of colors and feelings

My emotions run rampant as part of me is poured into every canvas I touch

The drama of life is played out so vividly during the painting process

The joy of mixing the colors and applying them with buttery ease

The demand from my visions to be a better artist and human being

The pain of working through an image until it takes form

The surprise of the completed work, knowing that it is much more than what I imagined

I stand back absorbing the finished fruit

Trying to hear what my sub-conscience is whispering

I have no choice but, to paint what is true in my heart

Like a dream, the truth is not only in the image but also what it symbolizes
