WATERCOLOURS
Always listen to the Art
The whole culture is telling you to hurry, while the art tells you to take your time. Always listen to the art - Junot Diaz.
As I delve deeper into the world of beauty that is paint, as I get lost in the esoteric glory of mark making, I’m afraid I’m going to lose you. So sometimes I need words to help build the bridge between us. When Noah Charney asks writer Junot Diaz - What do you look for in a great short story? He responds “…what I’m looking for, which I think is what everyone looks for, is something that sings. More technically, something that is aesthetically beautiful and that challenges people’s sense of the form, and of the world that they live in. We all want to be arrested, to walk away turning over a good piece of fiction in our head. That’s my guide.” These watercolours are my short stories.
