One never really knows when something from the past will catch up. Some time ago I made some small paintings which I thought might lead on to something but it didn't seem to be the case. Over the last few weeks those ideas may have caught me up as have drawings that I made some thirty years ago. Not the same drawings but the same sense of drawing. This is part of the richness of making things. One moves forward one hopes but at the same time carry dormant ideas into the light of the present.

  3. I am following an artist I like in Venezuela. They are literally starving there, as well as dying. He has to stop work- he cannot even get pencils which is what he specializes in. Hard time getting anything. He has a young boy. Thanks! Ian! Working out my trivial, it seems painting problem. Though I think sometimes art is totally useless it is one of the few barricades against the advancing Huns and an avenue of joy and hope.
