I love the painting "Improvisation" because of this very quote. I decided that I would let Coltrane lead me to where I needed to go on this one. That evening, I put Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" in the CD player and I waited to see exactly what that "feeling" would be. I'm not sure how long I stayed in that moment but after a while I approached the canvas almost trance like.  But I noticed the canvas wasn't blank.  No indeed. The painting was already there.  I just started moving and flowing and feeling the vibration. And before I knew it, the painting was finished. There wasn't much detail in this painting and some may say the colors are not quite right.  But Lord have mercy!! The feeling was there!!! And at that time I knew exactly what Miles meant.
