After a big project is finished and the paintings are sent to the gallery, seeing empty walls ready to be filled again is great motivation.<\/div><h3 class=\"questions\" id=\"question3\">Do you have a motto or creed that as an artist you live by?<\/h3><div class=\"answers\">Work begets work. Meaning that I get inspired and more creative through the working process. I\u2019ve never run out of ideas-I would need 10 lifetimes to paint every idea I\u2019ve had-because I just start working. Every. Damn. Day. And that leads me down a path to new discoveries, newer, better ideas and creative breakthroughs.<\/div><h3 class=\"questions\" id=\"question4\">How do you come up with ideas?<\/h3><div class=\"answers\">My best painting ideas come from walking around the city at night and observing the environment. I love revisiting places I\u2019ve been in the day time, to see how everything is transformed in the evening hours under artificial lighting.<\/div><h3 class=\"questions\" id=\"question5\">What project\/art are you hoping to create but haven\u2019t got chance to do yet?<\/h3><div class=\"answers\">I\u2019d like to do more public gallery presentations-I\u2019ve done a few, and it artistically rewarding, but it takes huge amounts of time and resources that I don\u2019t always have.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I want to make interesting painting out of something that you would&#8217;ve ignored&#8221; Peter D.
