When You've Just Done It, You're Not

I Think Money Is Important For Everyone, Because The Lack Of It Is So Painful.

When You've Just Done It, You're Not Sure. But When You've Sat With It For A Couple Of Hours And You Don't Want To Do Anything More To It, That's A Great Feeling. It Can Stand On Its Own Two Feet.

Making Art, Good Art, Is Always A Struggle. It Can Make You Happy When You Pull It Off. There's No Better Feeling. It's Beauteous. But It's Always About Hard Work And Inspiration And Sweat And Good Ideas.

But I Think It's More That When You're Young, You're Invincible, You're Immortal - Or At Least You Think You Are. The Possibilities Are Limitless, You're Inventing The Future. Then You Get Older And Suddenly You Have A History. It's Fixed. You Can't Change Anything. I Find That A Bit Disturbing, To Be Honest.

I Think I've Always Been Afraid Of Painting, Really. Right From The Beginning. All My Paintings Are About Painting Without A Painter. Like A Kind Of Mechanical Form Of Painting. Like Finding Some Imaginary Computer Painter, Or A Robot Who Paints.
