IF • Sour

July 4, 2008 · 10 Comments

So our situation is not tasting as sweet…
Sour, sweet, bitter, pungent, all must be tasted. Chinese proverb

Sour - IF

I suppose any note, no matter how sour, sounds like a song if you hold onto it long enough.

    I love that second quote! it has a lot of meaning. Is it politically motivated?

    Wow this is incredible – love your work. Do the quotes come first as inspiration or do you search for them after the art?

    I create the artwork. A title for the work usually surfaces while I’m creating it.
    As for the quotes I do extensive searches to find the one that resonates with the artwork and post.
    The title of the post usually occurs simultaneously or all of a sudden it just surfaces in the middle of writing the post!
