Play with paint

When we think of playing - do we presume it's about young play or being about a playing sport? Or can we imagine actually playing with something like paint as a grown up? I think it can be just as much a process of playing with paint when we're exploring art as an adult as it is when we're young. I've always regarded my painting as an exploration to explore my strengths and I've felt the benefit of 'playing' with paint that happens when any art work develops.

I chose to talk about this considering some of the artwork I've created is very different in composition and theme, but my approach has in most cases to be expressive and to play with 'mistakes' that happen. In a way this idea of play can be realised in the Grigor Gallery for Blind Create clients and the range of ideas and painting, because it's about discovery and having some fun in the process.
