momentum

I just realized how much I like the word momentum. So I looked it up, and found this other word that I am really impressed by. "the impetus gained by a moving object" is what my dictionary says momentum means. Okay, what does impetus mean my informative friend? "the force that makes something happen, or happen more quickly". I am able to get lost in things like this. That is why I paint, it is often like this, one discovery leading to another.
Hey, I like pink paint, I tell the painting, then I drop some wet blue sign enamel on that pink paint, and it starts dissolving into the pink. then, totally engaged in this new game of one color dissolving into another, I find something like peace, something like learning, something like childlike wonder. It is fun. I had intended to write more about this painting, the story behind it, and how my friend you see in this painting is an impetus for me and my artwork (only I didn't know the word impetus when I started this new post). I'll state the obvious, then I'm out of here. The larger image is a detail of the smaller one.
