Variation

Mike, let me tell you another public experience. About 25 years ago I was showing my paintings on the street in a small town. A big farmer came up wearing clean, worn overalls; he had two lovely children holding his hands-something that made me like him.

After a while, he bashfuly walked up to me and said what has after many years at many shows from Scottsdale to Boston has never been said more succinctly, better or more kindly. He said," I have never painted and I don't know much about art, but if I ever did, I would want to paint like this."



We artists must hold to these memories and let the other stuff go.
