{when i grow up...}

keeper of the polka dots
del kathryn barton

... I want to be Del Kathryn Barton.  Passionate, accomplished, driven, intense, compelled. 

I dream that one day my paintings will reach this level of depth, visually and emotionally. I dream that one day I will come to really understand why I paint, what my paintings mean, how they help me make sense of the world.

You can watch a really interesting doco about her art and life over here on Artscape.

This is exactly the kind of artist I want to be.

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.”
