"I no longer copy paintings, but make up completely new pictures as I go along. Many times I add things, just as if I were painting, and I don't know what a picture's going to be like until it's done. Perhaps I should give the result a new name: screen paintings. These may be my art form, as wood-block prints were for the Japanese." Invited to describe his creative process more fully, the artist speaks in mystical terms. A student of yoga since the age of sixteen, he would begin work for many years by meditating, then rushing to the canvas to paint the beautiful scenes that appeared to him. "Now I don't have to meditate. I simply know that if I start with a pencil or brush, some higher intelligence will direct my work. There is a great force pulling us, and the more it manifests, the more creative we become. Art is an attempt to delve into this mystery, to pick one detail out of the infinitude of infinities and make it clear. [http://home.earthlink.net/~vathek/Earle.html]
