The Making of "Total Joy of Allowing #8"

A Jonas Gerard live painting session recorded in the Spring of 2020.
"In the second painting the theme was a more of a fearless approach using bright colors on a black canvas to emphasize the magic of childlike spontaneity. This creative process was strongly motivated by very rhythmic music and a good amount of “what if.....” energy.
It was indeed a fun blissful painting experience."
Jonas Gerard
The resulting painting from this session is titled "Total Joy of Allowing #8" and is acrylic on canvas, 42 x 84 inches.

Wow! From the comments I learned that you live and create these masterpieces in Asheville, and I live nearby. This means that I have a chance to see you, and at least for a little bit become your assistant and get your precious experience.
