Love the post. Will add this. What dazzles from looking at a Picasso isn't just his paint. It's his practice. Zen like. He himself attributes his craft to it. Its what he says is responsibily for the simplicity behind all. Once saw  a time exposures of a body pose he did via flashlight. Not one line error. Not one mis-direction. His practice rigor made it and all he does look that simple, that easy.

So sure, its that paint. But for us mere mortals its also remembering its the practice and appliction. No?

All the same nice brush work on on the part of Deborah and touched up by John!
