the fulcrum of my creative
energy.

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
When I was attending Southern Illinois University and attempting to paint straight realism, a visiting artist whose name I don't recall, painted for the class.

It must be some form of insanity. It is expensive and frustrating. I think the reason I stay with it is that there is the occasion where it all works just right and there is a sense of contentment. It is also a form of meditation for me. All of the chatter in my brain shuts up and I am truly in the moment. |
