http://www.powersofobservation.com/2010/07/lois-dodd-video.html I'm painting my life as I live it day by day and what is in front of me, so to speak, or what I pass or notice, is what I paint. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgIEab7tfQ0) There’s no story. I don’t want to tell stories. Other people always read things into your work, which you can never see. That’s fine, that’s great. For me it was just exciting to look at it and try to do something with it. — Lois Dodd Everything I say is only true in some limited way. — Lois Dodd. It's not like I go out there excited. I just go out to paint. Then, in the middle of the process, if all goes well, it becomes exciting. — Lois Dodd ...Or if it wanders you're still painting, even with your mind wandering. Often do your best painting when your mind is somewhere else and you look at it later. — Lois Dodd
