A growth experience

 I  never know how an experience will influence my art.  It is usually long after an event that bits and pieces creep into a work.  Some experiences cause me to think about how I see art and my art practice. I recently had an opportunity to think about mine. 

 Have you ever been interviewed about your art practice?  Recently Jeanette Jobson, a  local artist, asked me if I would be her focus artist for her October newsletter.  Having read most of the other interviews in her previous newsletters I thought it would be "a growth experience".  It was.  The questions were varied and required lots of thought on my part.  Isn't it always difficult to grasp those wispy  thoughts and shape them into something cohesive?
