Thanks Stephen. I'm enjoying your interpretation. During my visits to his
studio, I learned from Richard Siegman that he has to finish the
application of paint with serrated trowels within 90 minutes or it will dry
and he won't get the effects he desires. So I'm imagining him literally
sprinting over to a distant part of the rather large surface he's working
on, moving paint around with another trowel, achieving a more than
satisfying result, and exclaiming "Gorgeous" to himself. He might also say
the same word after he turns over the circular paintings he has cut out of
the original rectangular board without looking at the application of paint
(that is, by chance, cutting from the blank back surface). Some examples
are visible at http://www.richardsiegman.com/paintings.html

I find that a wonderful opening, I mean, I took "Gorgeous" to be the real
personification of "Gorgeous" (the goddess) who just happened to show up in
the garden and, wow, what a literal rush!
