...the day-to-day process of an obsessive "Maker".....

Oh, and unless some great news story happens to "bump" me (I am learning all about how the world of news works), I will be interviewed for NPR's "Here & Now" tomorrow, Friday.
Kate - I've just seen your paintings. Having been a man with a woman for a time and sleeping on trips, having lived in Florida, California and Europe - being a nightime watcher and liver - loving Hopper and David and Wyeth and Holman Hunt and Millais - almost all your paintings fill me with a deja vu and longing.
I see a greatness in many of them - and they convey to me (as great works must 'Convey' something to us)that sense that Kipling gives us in his verse: "I've eaten your bread and salt; I've drunk your water and wine; The deaths ye've died, I've watched beside; And the lives that ye lived, were mine."
To some exent I'm a 'political' when on the net - but the material experience of known beauty such as you construct carries me away.
