spreading ink

The first thing I do is grind my ink.  The second is to mix different gradations of ink for painting. 

It is a little depressing to find that the random patterns in the paint dishes when mixing are often more beautiful than my paintings.  The same thing used to happen when oil painting, the pallet, or a scraped away canvas looking better than a finished painting. 



The same thing happens to stock traders I am told, beaten by the market itself or a monkey with a dart board.

Money, art, culture, it is hard to beat the random.

But still we try.
