I know ahead of time what (the painting) is going to look like, but only indirectly. I know the main thrust of the picture. As it develops, the picture tells me what it needs. That is a thing that Harvey Dunn taught ─ to learn to follow what the picture tells you to do. You don’t tell it. This is something others find hard to understand. It’s a mystical thing. A picture comes tapping me on the should and says “Look, I already exist ─ you have been selected to bring me into reality.” The idea is given only to the artist who can carry it through. The image says to the artist, “Come on! I want to come into being!” In other words, the painting reveals itself.
