A WALK IN MY OWN LANDSCAPE

11 1/2" x 8 1/2" Faber-Castell big brush pens in Canson Sketchbook.
Preliminary sketch for a painting.
I saw a documentary about Willem De Kooning's art in which he talked about the need to be free of any "ism"...one should be free to just paint a picture. All these terms...expressionism, abstract expressionism, realism, cubism, futurism are, for a painter, just things for a book. He said it was necessary to just talk a walk in your own landscape. I agree, so I do.
