Yes, I did, I mean I painted er, in a kind of abstract expressionist way, because of course that was exciting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Yes, you know sometimes, we started out thinking out how strange our painting was next to normal painting, which was anything expressionist. You forget that this has been thirty five years now and people don't look at it as if it were some kind of oddity.
I was blown away by being able to color. Then I started to draw... bringing a blank white canvas to life was fascinating.
I paint abstract expressions.
I enjoyed art in school. I've always done little drawings and stuff like that. I don't really know what I'm doing with the painting, but I experiment.
When I was a kid, I never felt that what I was drawing really represented me; it was just something I enjoyed.
Of course, I did lots of what would be called graphic design now, what used to be called commercial art.
I wanted to be an abstract painter, but I was rotten at it.
I did painting before I did photography.
Painting constantly appeared to me as the one and only possible achievement.
No, my degree was history, not the practice of art! I can't draw to save my life you know.
