"I never know what it's going to look like. Wouldn't be much point in painting if I already knew the outcome. I have a subject in front of me and I start flooding colour and making marks, I don't know, it's improvisation isn't it?"

This quote by Peter Wright speaks to the imaginative procedure of painting. He acknowledges that he does not understand what the result of his painting will be, and that this belongs to the appeal of the process. He begins with a topic in front of him and after that starts to "flood colour and make marks", which is an improvisational approach to painting. This improvisational approach allows him to check out the imaginative process and discover the outcome of his painting as he goes. This quote speaks with the idea that the imaginative process is unforeseeable and that the outcome of a painting is never ever certain. It is this unpredictability that makes painting so interesting and satisfying.
