Inspiration Is For Amateurs - The Rest Of Us Just Show Up And Get To Work. And The Belief That Things Will Grow Out Of The Activity Itself And That You Will - Through Work - Bump Into Other Possibilities And Kick Open Other Doors That You Would Never Have Dreamt Of If You Were Just Sitting Around Looking For A Great "art Idea."

I Think Most Paintings Are A Record Of The Decisions That The Artist Made. I Just Perhaps Make Them A Little Clearer Than Some People Have.
