Improv.
I notice the surface pattern on a duvet in our vacation cottage, play with elements of it on my big piece of drawing paper.
Lines seen in stained glass window art at a local gallery travel through a paint marker onto my drawing paper.
A wildflower leaf pattern transplants itself into the lush tangle of mark-making growing in front of me.

As the day unfolds, I ad lib in short little snippets of three minutes here, ten minutes there, creating without preparation from whatever I have available: I press a few pieces of collage into place, spread some paint with my finger and spritz it with a spray bottle to trigger drips, draw angular lines with a China marker against a metal straight-edge tool, use a brayer to veil.
