ED VALENTINE
PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS
1980s to the PRESENT
PORTRAITS and FIGURES
LANDSCAPES
STILL LIFES
Painting intrigues me. Curiosity keeps me going. Because of that curiosity and intrigue, I paint.
Once I begin a series, get all the pieces working together and there is a potency to the work, I will continue with it until I feel the tickle to move on.
That tickle is my bellwether and always comes with a new curiosity. I will not/cannot for love, money, fame or status stay after that point.
This may be the single reason why, after nearly fifty years, that intrigue and curiosity has not left me and I am still able to make paintings.
