\nA painting is an irreproducible singularity. Part of its charm \u2013 if you like that kind of thing. Or, you may, as many have since Duchamp, find the preciousness off-putting. <\/p>\n

One pushes paint against a canvas and, predictably, a mark is made. But every mark is unrecoverable as weather. Direct transmissions from the body, no pure concept, contaminated by countless non-verbal impressions which collect to make, when it goes well, a coherent image. And somehow a highly-personalized idiom evolves, for better or worse, which is only somewhat in the control of the painter.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s too corny to say ‘painting is like life’, but there it is. Maybe those who love painting feel that connection very intensely. So is basketball \u2013 like life, I mean \u2013 and also handwriting, and a cheese plate, and math.<\/p>\n

I try not to paint “about” the Old South, but this one has its fingers near that fan. It is, to me, eerily quiet for a painting of musicians.<\/p>\n
