I think it's a wonderful moment when someone else helps decide that a picture is finished. It's also interesting to see what they feel it is worth. Often I feel that placing a monetary amount on an act of creative inspiration diminishes the product that this act inspired. There are lots of words I could use to describe what was happening when I made these pieces, but now they have a new owner, and what those owners decide to say about the pictures is more important than anything I could say
The world is incredible when you don't know what to expect. While carrots are a regular part of my life, I'd never taken the time before to draw them before. They are now consumed and gone. It's amazing how the briefest connections between 2 things can be so important and so easily overlooked. In this state of openness is where the whales live and the birds converse in DISNEY land. Everything is already spoken in a brush stoke or the life of a carrots and that is why it's so incredible to witness the birth of these creations. By following where the paint chooses to go, I get to witness amazingly entertaining things.
There is a great amount of amazement and excitement as I watch these pieces progress. It takes me completely by surprise the way in which they progress. It is the simplest things that are so routine and always overlooked that are the most wonderful. There are few things better than taking a nap with your dog. By listening to the vibrations from the blood pumping through the content heart of a dog you feel your own life pulsing through you and the purpose that is driving you forward and dictating not only the movements of the pen or brush but everything. It is comforting to rest in this knowledge.
