Guggi…. I happened upon this interview looking up something about The V. Prunes ….. I knew you were a painter and so I decided to hear what you had to say in this little clip…
I now have a smile on my face . You have certainly hit the nail on the head about certain things in the life of an artist. I needed to hear what you had to say about the paintings being children. I feel quite guilty as I have left behind some difficult ones and I am regretting it . They are sitting in a storage unit in Seattle…I did not finish them out of frustration and I am regretful.
Thank you for your insight. Michele
