The key is in remaining just aloof enough from a painting so that you know when to stop.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.
In the end, the gesture of painting becomes almost meditative, like a ritual.
I think the key is basically just your determination. As far an artist is concerned, it's just about your drive and your dream.
The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.
I found I have to stay painting.
Do not think that I have stopped painting, for at any moment, I am liable to paint a good picture.
It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.
Painting's not important. The important thing is keeping busy.
The principle of art is to pause, not bypass.
