If you're going to write about someone's life, you don't just use them for wallpaper. You have to honor and respect that life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like artists who have something to say, not wallpaper.
My attitude to writing is like when you do wallpapering, you remember where all the little bits are that don't meet. And then your friends say: It's terrific!
People who put my paintings on their walls are putting their values on their walls: faith, family, home, a simpler way of living, the beauty of nature, quiet, tranquillity, peace, joy, hope. They beckon you into this world that provides an alternative to your nightly news broadcast.
If I were in a room full of people, I'd rather be the person who is more interesting than the one who is wallpaper.
I think the most useful thing you can do as a writer is to reconstruct real life with all its color, hardship, joy, and intrigue. If you're interested in people, you honor them best, I think, by making the fullest possible picture of them. Your subjects may - and from my experience probably will - protest your portrait of them.
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
So many paintings have hidden meanings or need wall texts, but my work is not in that category.
Have enough sense to know, ahead of time, when your skills will not extend to wallpapering.
I kept wanting to push my image as validity; I wanted to see my portrait on a wall and know it was okay.
I am an all-surface wallpaper man that retired to become a printer.
