What Word?

[Wendilee]

Words are wonderful. I never truly appreciated words when I was younger. They were more of a plague in my existence than a boon. But now as thoughts blossom from experience, words are a venue to encapsulating and communing. But in the arena of playing in the visual, words become inaccurate at the least and totally incapable of illustrating, communicating or recording processes and effects. What word should be used to indicate the brush movement which repeats itself that in oil blends but in watercolor mucks up? What word should be used to describe Rembrandt's rendering of a seated woman to differentiate it from an architectural piece? What word can communicate what watercolor's Light Red and Cobalt Blue do when applied into water? What word indicates the abstract shapes underlying and transcending the specific objects being rendered? Is it time to make up some new words?
