inspiring words from matisse 'I cannot copy nature in a servile way; I am forced
to interpret nature and submit it to the spirit of the picture.'

inspiration from Richard Diebenkorn " attempt what is not certain. certainty may or may not not come later. it may then be a valuable delusion."

Joan Didion inspires with " A hill is a transitional accommodation to stress, and ego may be a similar accommodation. A waterfall is a self-correcting maladjustment of stream to structure, and so, for all i know, is technique"

the tradition of building cathedrals of reason in an uncertain universe

surrendering to authenticity allows peace to flood in

a cloud elephant chases across the expansive blue sky

sitting in the studio. no music no wifi. sinking deep into the silence. it's both tender and fierce.
