“I always think I don’t do the first one good, so I try to do it more.”

I do the same thing everyday. I go to work and paint. I try to turn out as many pictures as I can.

When I think about what sort of person I would most like to have on a retainer, I think it would be a boss. A boss who could tell me what to do, because that makes everything easy when you’re working.
