An old acomplished artist once said of my work: "It dies of borning." Refering to a passage that I had worked to death.

Speaking of the synergy of music and painting....
Once Miles Davis overheard a musician knocking another for being too derivative--too much an unoriginal reflection of his influences--and in an uncharacteristically (for him) generous moment, said:
"Well, it takes a long time to learn to play like yourself."

To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labor.
