I Wanted To Be An Abstract Painter,

Being Happy Is More Important Than Anything Else.

Usually Going Places Makes Me Feel Optimistic. And I'm A Hillbilly, So Heading To The Countryside Made Sense A Number Of Ways.

There Is A Period When It Is Clear That You Have Gone Wrong But You Continue. Sometimes There Is A Luxurious Amount Of Time Before Anything Bad Happens.

On The Worst Days, I Don't Feel Like An Artist.

It's Good To Be Employable, But I Hope To Show The Truth. The Paintings Seem True Because Nobody Wants Me To Do Them.
