Ideas are strange things. Stranger still is the way feelings and thoughts that have no words make their way into a painting or work of art.
Chasing something like a vision is a delicate pursuit. Chasing is the wrong word. It’s more like waiting, watching and trying catch glimpse of what you’re looking for then gently listening to what you need to do. It requires insane amounts of patience and solitude. It’s like trying to catch a butterfly with your bare hands. Waving your arms around like a lunatic will only frighten it away. If you lunge at it, you’ll probably fall on your face and scare it away for good.
