Often, after a day of painting at an easel, and upon returning I ask myself: "Who did this fine (or not so) work?" Given years of working at a craft, be it bar tending, painting, cooking, or of course swimming, things begin to fall magically into place. Not having to think about the right brush, how much indigo blue to mix with the burnt umber, or how to slip that arm quietly into the water, and then relax takes years of repetition, mistakes and corrections. Most of us are likely somewhere in the middle. Except every once in a while...cheers. As a painter and artist, I can begin to sense Doug Quinn’s ability to “see” with his hands.
