Painting is inspiring me to paint. It is my one and only favorite mystery.
I follow where it goes and sometimes it is troublesome. Sometimes it is bliss with back pain. It is something I can do which has relevance in and of itself but it is unexplainable.
Words interrupt the long conversation.
Images are so forgiving.
If I can make a painting to be looked at and seen again and again, if I can make a painting that means something at different times and in different places, then I have made an impact in time and space.
I use the ( + ) a lot, symbolizing the intersection of time and space, but as with all symbols, it represents many other things as well.
this is why I paint...
