Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again become great.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nature engenders the science of painting.
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
Painting directly from nature is difficult as things do not remain the same; the camera helps to retain the picture in your mind.
When things become peculiar, frustrating and strange, I think it's a good time to start painting.
I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.
See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality.
Painting is a coalescing of experience.
I'm still very sure that painting is one of the most basic human capacities, like dancing and singing, that make sense, that stay with us, as something human.
I slowly dismantled the act of painting, to consider the possibility that no-thing ever really transcends its immediate environment.
Painting becomes interesting when it becomes timeless.
