Connection, Comparison & Consistency & Our Art Practice I abstract painting, abstract oil painting
Having a strong connection to ourselves and to our work is fundamental to making strong work. When we lose that connection, which can happen for any number of reasons, we can start to compare ourselves to other artists. That very same loss of connection can inhibit consistency in our work as well. In this video I talk about these three Cs - connection, comparison and consistency - and how I think about them to enhance my own practice. I'd love to know your thoughts so please leave a comment below. Thanks for watching.

Ideas About How We Paint & Why

In this video, I talk about a way I've come to identify types of painters based on how they think and operate in life. While I call them "categories," they are not hard and fast by any means and people can cross between them and move from one to the other simultaneously and over the course of a painting career. That said, it's interesting to consider where you see yourself in these definitions ...
