Faster horses

February 6th, 2010

"If I had asked people what they wanted,
they would have said faster horses."
-Henry Ford

Following one's own muse is the only way to success, whether personal  or financial, or professional acclaim.
Being an artist is a solitary endeavour. Yesterday I spent 13 hours at the easel, and barely noticed the time flying by. Pouring the colors and powdered pigments that make up the background is a process of great discovery. There are worlds within worlds in the burnt ochre surface..
The Scottsdale Art Festival looms on the horizon. I'll be there March 12-14 with a trailer full of art.
