If you live by perception, as
all artists must, then you sometimes have to wait a long time for your mind to
tell you the next step to take. … When you’re with other people, your mind
isn’t your own.
First, I have the experience
of happiness and innocence. Then, if I can keep from being distracted, I will
have an image to paint.
The artist lives by
perception. So that what we make is what we feel. The making of something is
not just construction. It’s all about feeling… everything, everything is about
feeling…. feeling and recognition!
