William
F. Reese To
set your easel up in front of the majesty of the untouched virgin
wilderness is so humbling that it is hard to believe that you've been given
the honor of trying to express your reaction to what you are witnessing. You
work there the entire day and produce 2 or 3 studies, working as fast as you
can laying in the large forms and light patterns, pushing, pulling, comparing
values, temperature, drawing, redrawing, scraping the whole thing off,
starting over, correcting mistakes. Finally you've run out of time and you
take your sketches back to the motel. Realizing immediately that you've come
in second to mother nature. You accept the small victory that even in defeat
you've done the best you can, and tomorrow we'll do better. And so it goes
day after day. —-William F. Reese |
