It is my hope
that having transmitted many painting observations to you
over the years that they created an excitement,
an eagerness for you to look and 'see'
and that the longer you remain in that state
the more you will express yourself
to the direct picture
and the more likely it is to leave a permanent trace -
a pathway that will make it easier for you
to 'see' and feel pictures to come.
Thus eventually you will be capable
of appreciating a work of art with the certainty
of a sensation of hot and cold.
We can digest and learn
from the best our European artistic legacy has left us,
and we can also try
to make ourselves works of art
that gives us as spectators of our own selves
the same joy in beauty and inspiration
that external works of art can give us now.
