"Accidental Encounters is a series of paintings that emerged from my desire to push the limits of my earlier, more traditional still life work. I became fascinated by the idea of creating still lifes that were not so still. Inspired by interests as diverse as chaos theory, poetics, gravity and romance, I began to paint objects falling through space. I reinvented my concept of an orderly painting, along with my ideal of an orderly world."

THE FOUR ESSENTIALS by Orlanda Brugnola

This is great to ponder on:

THE FOUR ESSENTIALS © Orlanda Brugnola

Before you plan on something
decide on your INTENTION
think of at least 5 possible ACTIONS
think of at least 5 possible +/- IMPACTS for each
then 5 +/- CONSEQUENCES for each impact
then figure out what is really the best action
