Why do I paint . . .

You ask why do I paint -
Because that blank canvas is the only void in my life I can fill.

Sometimes I worry about my art friends and then I think this - the stories told in our paintings have been released to anyone who can see, anyone who understands the language of visual art. Now we are free of it and with eyes lifted the easel presents another void to fill. A world of empty that needs to be filled.
