Feel the tug of Mortality
Feel the Tug of Mortality
When
I paint I can feel the tug of mortality. The infinite
potential for composition leaves me dumbfounded. I
still paint because I know that this sense of
mortality is one of the key driving forces of life .
. . to stay alive and to share it on many levels. For
me it is easy in visual format as it seems less
contradictory than words. John Singer Sargent says
something like… “Learn all you can or become a
mannerist.” In other words, your individual life
experience can be the only guide to your composition;
everything else is just that--someone else’s ideas or
experience.
