The energy of Elizabeth Murray

In a 1991 interview Murray, stated, "When you walk out of the studio, and you walk down the street that's where you find art. Or you find it at home, right in front of you. I paint about things that surround me-things that I pick up and handle everyday. That's what art is. Art is an epiphany in a coffee cup. "

Update on next painting

I am working on a new painting, this painting has the American flag in the still life. While I am painting the still life it has been growing. Once the painting is completed, then I will fully understand why I painted this. The over all feel of the painting and understanding is arriving in pieces.
