For artists and other creators and would-be creators

The June 2012 issue of The Sun magazine contains a fascinating interview with artist Ran Ortner. He is best known (I guess) for his enormous paintings of the sea. The interview is called, "Water, Water Everywhere: Ran Ortner's Love Affair with the Sea," and the interviewer is Ariane Conrad. In it Ortner offers fascinating insight not only into what makes him tick as a person, but also into how he understands art and creativity. What he says touched many places in my life, and I invite you to find it and read it and comment on it here.
You can see part of the interview at www.thesunmagazine.org. You have to get a print copy for the whole interview. I know Mac's Paperbacks in Coventry carries it in the Cleveland area, but it may well be available in other bookstores. It's a periodical I always look forward to getting and reading.
