The most difficult thing about painting is the self-discipline. When I finish a job, I give myself a few days, but then I have to discipline myself quite fiercely if I want to do some painting that's worthwhile. Otherwise, you're just doodling. It's much easier when you're just told what you have to do.

I love painting and have a need to do it.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

It's helpful for me to get ideas - the physical action of painting. Sometimes it frees up your writer brain. It's nice for me now that the writing has become a serious career that painting can become more like a hobby.

Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.

Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.

I don't think there is too much art involved in what I do.

Painting is a hobby for me.

Creating art is painful. It takes time, practice, and the courage to stand alone.
