[Timothy C. Tyler]

It has long been held that lovely art is made by loving artists. People say, find someone with mean kids or a mean dog and the owner will be hateful too. The opposite is true too.

Indeed I've known some very sweet painters through my years in the business. It's the norm. That's what makes workshops so fun...the folks are so great to be with. Zen studients talk about being right with nature and the world and the wonderful warm feelings that end up in your work. I like that.
