The answer I finally came up with was "all of my life up to the moment of its creation." I never formally studied art but while working on my undergraduate degree at a Bible college I room with a music professor who painted and was into sketching from nature. Some of those images stored away after a trip to the Oregon coast still influence my art work more than 45 years later. In the process of getting two master's degrees though I never took an art course I was feeding my creative reservoir. I like to say of my music (native american flute) that I have studied and jammed with the masters. The same thing is true of my other art work including my photography, I have studied and learned from the masters. After getting your book on digital photography and looking at your pictures and reading your commentaries on them, I feel like I have studied with Harold Davis. Indeed all knowledge and training is worth having in the end, given that it is that which opens the eyes of your soul. I like the idea that, "the role of the artist is not to reproduce the visible, but to make visible." Have been playing in Photoshop a bit- http://texbrandt.com/?p=34 Anyway I do appreciate all the good stuff you share here in your blog. regards Robert Many times over the years that I did art shows first with paintings and graphics and then with sculpture I was asked how long it took me to make a given painting or sculpture.
