Part of the In Process blog series, Paul Behnke posts about the development of two paintings by Gabriel Phipps.

Of his process, Phipps remarks: "My painting process combines critical thinking and intuition. I have no single method of making a painting. There are times when I find an image purely through the act of painting. There are also times when I make preparatory sketches as a way of beginning a painting. Some paintings come easily – in a matter of a day – while others take months or years to complete… once I start painting, anything can happen within my chosen parameters."
