I am always asked what inspires me to paint.
They ask how I can paint everyday and never waiver.
They ask what keeps me going.
What interests me about it enough to want to do it every day.
I have thought about it alot.
And it is not just one thing.
It is the challenge of staying fresh.
It is the continual idea chain that runs through my head.
It is the inspiration of all of the artists that surround me.
It is the force of nature that is inside most of us.
We HAVE to paint.
It is like breathing
or eating kefir
or soaking in a tub.
It is therapy in the strongest sense for me.
It would be like someone asking why I wan to be with my children.
Or why I love convertibles.
Or why I love red wine.
It is just part of me.
Part of what makes me me.
And what drives me to get up early
stay up late
and fill the day in between with art
and music
and all of my artist friends!!
Life is the inspiration to paint.
Painting is the inspiration to live.
