What materials to you use?
\nI paint on masonite using acrylic paint, latex, plastic, and water-based enamels. I use brushes, rags, water, sand paper, gravity, pressure, sponges, tape, flecking, flicking, slinging, applying elements from other paintings, and sanding, blotting, wiping and blotting to remove paint during the creative process.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Most Anders art is painted on thick masonite boards.<\/p><\/div>\n

What is your favorite color”? <\/strong>
\nThe passing of 365 consecutive days.<\/p>\n

What were your major influences? <\/strong>
\nBaseball uniform lettering, Ernie Kouvacs on a small black and white TV, Life Magazine, big movie screens and the concept that there need not be a difference between work and play.<\/p>\n

What was the last art book that you read? <\/strong>
\n“Essential Surrealists.” The last movie I saw in a theater, 1989, was Terry Gilliam’s “Adventures of Baron Munchausen”. The last tv dinner I digested was Nova’s “Global Dimming.” My ear is tuned to Public Radio where ever I am.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

These panels have traveled over years from studio to studio.<\/p><\/div>\n

What is important in your art? <\/strong>
\nThe journey. A journey recorded and expressed. Manipulation of time and matter- matter matters.<\/p>\n

Why do you paint? <\/strong>
\nWhy would I not paint. At times, I pour out a quart of color on a board and then press another board down sandwiching the paint in between and then another board and another board…. At times, I squeeze a drop or two of color out of a tube onto a coffee can lid and apply it to a painting, and I keep painting until there is no use able color left on the lid. I paint on a board started yesterday, or a board that was started twenty years ago. Every day there is a beginning. Painting is natural to me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lines gain strength with each pass of patient hand and loving brush.<\/p><\/div>\n

Where do you paint? <\/strong>
\nMy paint equipment travels in a small bag. I can paint anywhere that has water.<\/p>\n

How do you paint?<\/strong>
\nWith enthusiasm and purpose. I can be any of the elements and, at the same instant, a directing man. I work on at least ten paintings at a time. These sets share colors and thoughts. Having many paintings to work on allows me to use up all my color without overworking any of the paintings. The sets progress and join others creating a series sharing related elements, colors and concepts. I paint with water. Much of my painting time is spent allowing the boards to dry.<\/p>\n

Painting sessions last on average a half hour at a time. In a day, I will paint at least four times. Starting when I wake up and ending when I go to sleep and whatever happens in between depending on the demands of the day. I paint by looking. I sit and understand. I see the next move. I grasp a bigger- better picture. I apply paint- I remove paint. I am entertained as I paint.<\/p>\n

When did you realize that you were an artist?<\/strong>
\nWhat came first, the artist or the art? I was an artist as an artist when my art was art. Or my art is art when I am an artist as an artist.<\/p>\n

What is the future of art?<\/strong>
\nThe next moment.<\/p>\n
