I Am Just Trying To Find A

I'm Not Sure What 'coming Out Right' Means. It Often Means That What You Do Holds A Kind Of Energy That You Wouldn't Just Put There, That Comes About Through Grace Of Some Sort.

There Was Very Little Art In My Childhood. I Was Raised In South Carolina; I Wasn't Aware Of Any Art In South Carolina. There Was A Minor Museum In Charleston, Which Had Nothing Of Interest In It. It Showed Local Artists, Paintings Of Birds.

Art As A Fantasy Has Been One Of My Earliest Experiences. I Suppose A Lot Of My Childhood Was A Fantasy That Involved Getting Away From Things I Didn't Like. Fortunately It Had Some Relationship To Reality So That Later I Was Able To, To Some Extent, Act As I Imagined I Might.

To Me, Self-description Is A Calamity.

Sometimes I See It And Then Paint It. Other Times I Paint It And Then See It. Both Are Impure Situations, And I Prefer Neither. At Every Point In Nature There Is Something To See. My Work Contains Similar Possibilities For The Changing Focus Of The Eye.
