One can rarely understand what they have done in painting nor why they have done it. It is kind of interesting. James Whistler said there has never been an age of art nor has there ever been a nation of art. People just make it for themselves.
And I think for a few friends. And that is it. What can a picture mean to others? How can they find their way into it?
I have no idea how or even if they can. Someone asked Duke Ellington where his musical influences come from and he said, "from dreaming, I dream all the time". And the interviewer said, but that's playing the piano and Ellington said "no that's dreaming".
And when I paint, I'm just dreaming'. That's all I do. Just dream and dream.
