I think of all of this as ways of talking to yourself, as ways of translating what your imagination produces.

Whatever lessons I might have gotten from my own magazine life that might apply to my painting life, I didn't.

616. How to Make Something from Nothing

When I thought I wanted to paint, I was up in Cape Cod, a place, and without any schooling whatsoever, didn't know how to do a thing. My schooling was really when I went to buy paints, I talked to the salesperson and asked them how this worked. I didn't understand what a medium was. I didn't understand any of it.

Nevertheless, I had this idea that I would do a painting a day, and that's what I did. One day I'd do a flower, and then the other day I'd do some crazy, stupid abstract, and then I would just make an effort at doing a person or something. The whole idea was that at the end of the day, painting would be finished and thrown away and started over. It was fun.

Came back, and I thought that was the end of it. I thought it was just a sort of fun little summer thing. And a friend of mine said, well, you really seem to have liked it. You really should get some training. She then connected me up with the head of painting, I think, at the Yale School of Art. I can hear many listeners' heads exploding. First teacher, head of painting, Yale School of Art.

Well, no, she wasn't my teacher. She had a student who had just graduated who she thought was really good. Her name was Maria De Los Angeles, and she's in the book. She is a beautiful artist, but also a really lovely person. She would just come over to my house. She taught me how to draw and she taught me how to paint at the beginning.

It wasn't a particularly structured learning process, but she was my friend, my painting friend. Was it built around ideas or mostly execution technique, etc. ? There was a certain amount of technique. There was a lot of just helping me find my confidence as a painter. And there was just a certain kindness that I found empowering and a sense that she had that I had something to make.
