The concentration of money and interest is funneled closer and closer in a whirlpool, excluding many in the process. Between the producers and the consumers there are those in the middle, the brokers who, in the name of facilitating transactions, actually distort the flow, exaggerating the share of certain known quantities as brands, while restricting the visibility of other perhaps less-known quantities, regardless of their merits. What is needed is a better educated, more adventurous and independent audience. Meanwhile, keep painting. It seems odd to quote an old rock and roll star, especially since he is himself a known brand, but I like him, so WTF. Keith Richards recently said, "You are mistaken if you think my music is for you. My music is for ME! You are welcome to like it, but if you don't, who cares?"<br /><br />I love what I do.
