Artists must learn to recognize the difference between the power of a choice and the reasonable-ness of a decision. Listen to the right side of your brain. It doesn t have to decide or analyze. In fact, the right brain sees abstract shapes instantaneously if you can get out of the way and let it to its job. Get hip to the zen of seeing.
Vague notions make for vague paintings.
An idea is of no use unless it is crystal clear. Work with your idea. Be open to it. Be gentle with it until it is ready. Then go after it like there s no tomorrow.
