Meet the elders........ a couple of artists

I was reading Frankie and came across this article; Meet the elders.

A couple of artists. It was a lovely read and I have jotted down a few words I liked from each artists. 

What have you done to keep you motivated over the years:

It's not that complicated. It's about how lazy you are, if you want to do something you will do it. I always painted because I wanted to.

Don't worry what other people say. You don't take notice of people you need to take notice of yourself.

Anything you would do differently if you could:

A failure is always a success in my book. I'd never change because I do what I want to do.

The secret in life is to find beautiful people and surround yourself with them.

I am a bee in disguise and my friends are flowers.

What have you discovered about failure:

Go pour yourself a glass of wine at the end of the day, because there is tomorrow.

What does creativity mean to you:

Means starting a painting and seeing what happens. Everyone has creativity in some form or another. I love looking at children and seeing what they can do naturally. The analytical mind has not clicked in yet. I'd love to get back to that childlike state of being without the filter of the rational mind.
