It's kind of ridiculous that I find inspiration in just getting away from everything. But when you've gone through it, you realize that it's the enemy. It's a distraction from what you're really doing. You've got to keep moving. Like a shark.
I have a suggestion for all of those award seekers and blue ribbon hunters. Spend your efforts on making art that connects with people. Awards impress the grandkids but they don't move the gauge on selling your product. Art needs to touch the emotions of the buyer.
Passion, for me, is like a shark - it never stops moving.
I love the way art moves people emotionally. I love the fact that when someone purchases art it is the one thing that will last for generations.
Mastery is the rudder, Mystery is the sail and Magic the wind to move you in your chosen direction.
This trial is moving like a freight train.
