The mere brush stroke must speak for itself. It counts whether you will or not. It is on the canvas and it tells a tale. It is... rich, full, generous, alive, and it knows what is going on... Its tiny but expressive ridges catch light in their own way... It has its own speed and direction... Strokes tell their tale in harmony with, or in opposition to, the motive of the whole picture.

There are rich, fluent abundant strokes... Strokes that come from brushes which seem fully charged, as though they were filled to the hilt and had plenty to give... Strokes which mount, carry up, rise... Strokes which are placid... The stroke of an eyebrow as it rises in surprise... Strokes which end too soon... Dull strokes and confused strokes on youthful, spirited faces.
