As described on page 101 of his memoir "Turning the Feather Around" by Morrison:
"I went through a period of using thick paint, starting from the late 50's all through the 60's. This gave more immediacy to the painting. Putting the paint on without thinning it with oil, using acrylic paint without any water added.. Putting it thick on the brush and then on the canvas with broad strokes, showing the thickness and movement of the pigment. Some of the paints right out of the tube...This was my version of gestural painting...Movement of the paint became an integral part of the idea of the painting....the artist was more conscious of the paint itself, and that became the painting."
