The same with composition-it's purely instinctive and natural; no great debates, pre-sketches, trials or anguish about just 'where' a shape should go, bam, it's there, and it works. Would that we adults could keep this pure, un-manipulated intuition. The Roger Hilton painting I think has the same instinctive quality, but I would love to know how quickly he reached his final composition!
Roger Hilton's in the one in the middle, the 'monster on the right, just because I like it.

If only we could paint with such exhuberance- I battle constantly to loosen up my work, somewhere there's a balance between good drawing and sheer expression... John Piper found it I think. I also love Cy Twombly and the child-like innocence of his scrawls.
