WILLIAM HOYT

Painting and drawing is improvisational and meditative in my case. I don't accept the concept of overpainting. I go over and over until I find a resolution or at least a truce. Every piece is only finished when I reach one or the other.

It's akin to hearing a familiar piece of music live. Depending on the day and frame of mind of the particular set of players, the unexpected can result. The same composition contains a near infinite possibility of something new.

In that sense, I paint the same painting again and again, and sometimes find something different with fresh possibilities. And so it goes.
