I’ve known Linda Staiger for a long time – she would come to my studio and paint with me using models. Painting people pleases me. It allows you to be a better painter; it helps in all your painting experiences. Making decisions on the spot – that kind of focus is not unlike meditation. You’re in the moment and it’s good to be in the moment.
