What's Criticism
To an Artist?

IA by 20. I squeezed a little
paint from every tube, revel-
ling in the shades of yellow
and blue and the burnt
sienna and two kinds of
black; ivory and charcoal. I
told the youngsters that they
would have to take their
dolls and doll clothes some
where else. Kathleen said:
"You want to borrow my
crayons?" but I paid no at
tention.
Gayle looked at the can
vas and said: How come no
numbers?" The best reply is
frigid silence. I set the out
fit up, mixed some turpen-
tine and oil, and took a look
at the river behind the
house, with the dock near
the window and the little
island on the far side. Easy.
A cinch. A child could paint
it.
True. True. BY the time I
had finished, I realized that
q child can do 1t, but an
adult can't. The result looked
something like a Rorschach
test out Of a Reform School.
Mrs. B. studied it with hand
to mouth, cooking the head
from side to side, and said:
Great" At once, I realized
she hates me.
Jealous. They're all jealous.
I did a painting a day. I
didn't care a fig what they
said. One day I painted a
lighthouse right out Of my
mind. Or rather, my imagin-
alton. 1t had a blue sum-
merry sky and some wisps Of
white clouds, and, If you
forget that the lighthouse
leans a little in the middle,
it's deucedly clever. AS good,

PERNICI0US ANEMIA is

MY BIG EFFORT was a
male flamenco dancer. I
worked at this one on the
office desk. He had to look
proud, arrogant. One side Of
his face would be in strong
light; the other in darkest
shadow. So he came out
with one eye. But what an
eye. 1t even has little red
hangover veins in it. l was
working on his stiff-brimmed
black hat when Ginny's little
boy, Kevin, somehow got be-
tween my legs and came UP
between me and the painting.
What dat?" he said. I
told him to buzz off and try
another bowl Of Pablun.
I did q winter farm scene
with snow when the Spaniard

cilled the outline of the
farmhouse and the big trees
and the frozen brook. Then
I painted a deep blue winter

out of the lousy stage-but

horizon was so low that the
