“I was pretty impressed during the opening of one of my shows, when the five-year-old daughter of a well-known movie actress took a running jump at one of my paintings, like she was diving into a swimming pool. I preferred to treat her impulse as a compliment rather than insult. Sadly she hurt herself more than the painting.” YearsWellsChildrenShowsRunningHurtKnownFivePaintingDaughterTreatsActressesOpeningImpulseFive YearsInsultComplimentSwimmingPoolImpressedWell KnownDivingFive Year OldsSwimming Pool Author:James Nares
“It's true, I do sometimes suspend myself over the canvas, but mostly I work at a table when I'm making a painting. When I use 'The Rig,' my feet are firmly anchored. I lower myself horizontally just long enough to make a brush stroke - a matter of seconds - and then I'm upright again. My assistant then erases the painting quickly with a squeegee and I go for it again... until I get it right. It's like trying to hit a home run.” TryingLongSometimesMatterEnoughUseHomeRunningFeetPaintingTablesSecondsCanvasStrokesBrushesEraseAssistantsHome RunMethodologyRigsBrush Strokes Author:James Nares
