Some time ago I made a painting of one rainbow that landed on the lake. When this happens it seems a little more special than when rainbows are visible but pass over the lake and beyond the surrounding hills before descending. In this case I did not see the pot of gold on the water but the radiance of light alone fills you up to overflowing.
In the creation of the random residual paintings I began using any method of paint application other than brushes. Rubbings had explored cubist ideas of multiple viewpoints and in this case the two ideas merged as if by magic. I guess that once I stepped over into collage without thinking things just went together like a happy accident. I think the pot of gold revealed itself in the image.
