Reasons to be Cheerful-part 3

Here's a quip, a little filbert that came to me this morning-most of you probably know this already,maybe even as a cliche, but it can't hurt to sound it out again:
Being a painter insures the fact that you'll always have questions to answer-or should I say, you'll always be engaged in attempting to answer. The unresolved for me talks directly to what art (and the artist) should be about. Answers are good for the short term only. Boredom sets in quickly and the mundane, unchecked, reigns triumphant over all. Pursuing the undefined and the mysterious provides chills and thrills-hours of fun! Creating language and then attempting to communicate with others using that language can create doors where there once were solid walls or lead directly to madness. Good luck.
