I mentioned the other day I had been watching and listening to lots of interviews and documentaries about @paularegostudio and her husband artist Victor Willing. Something that I really loved and connected with was this story from their son filmmaker Nick Willing: "When I was about eight years old,I asked my father, quite crossly in fact “What is the point of being an artist?” What did he reply? Nick, who credits his father with being the wisest man he ever met, smilingly remembers his father’s answer. He said that an artist is like an explorer who goes to places that no one has ever been before and comes back with a picture of it that no one has seen but everyone recognises. From then on I remember thinking how interested I was to see what they brought back as the explanation seemed perfectly logical." 🖼️ #victorwilling #paularego #nickwilling #abstractlandscape #pinkskyart #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #holidaydreaming #holidaypainting #landscapepainting #tropicalpainting #seapainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CVqjUp5sRa0/?utm_medium=tumblr
