20. Astonishing!

I'm on the beach being overwhelmed by the color right now.

Wish I could capture reality. My abstracts are colorful, but they look like drug trips. (I don't actually do drugs.)

You have my most heartfelt sympathy regarding the urge to go back and change it. One of the most crucial challenges in any artistic endeavor is knowing when to stop.

Just look at George Lucas and how he keeps tweaking Star Wars.
