Otherwise, Why in the Hell Bother?

“I didn’t know what I was working towards. It was a mystery. The end was there but it was imagined. I could imagine the accomplishment without knowing what it looked like in advance. That was very exciting to me. It still is. Painting is an adventure. To be an adventurer you have to accept a certain mystery about the ends of things. Otherwise, why in the hell bother to do it if you know what it’s going to look like in advance?”
