ReplyDeleteThat's the one I'm grasping to! Thanks for a great post, Casey.
Blessings!
Thanks for commenting, Joanie! VVG said it very well, didn't he?
ReplyDeleteCasey, the De Kooning quote really touches me. The last painting I posted that you liked just now, really illustrates this. Two months of intensive painting during my stay in NM produced work that became more and more free and just as I was leaving I felt I could have flown...it is always being suggested to me to accept what I have, but I have such a tendency to fiddle! Thanks for such a great blog.
ReplyDeleteIt is a quote for the mature artist. I know you will keep the New Mexico spirit alive in the UK.
