This strkes me as a perfect example of the process of how we artists achieve a breakthrough in finding our unique styles. It is strange how we can start out thinking that different things we are interested in (different subjects or ways of painting) have to be kept separate. Maybe they
have to start out existing separately in our minds in order for us to appreciate the significance of their coming together.
