I asked Brian to send me something in words that represented his artwork. He sent me this quote from John Cage just a month before his passing. How appropriate now as I read these words...


"When you start working everybody is in your studio –
The past, your friends, enemies, the art world,
And above all, your own ideas – all are there.
But as you continue painting, they start leaving, one by one,
And you are left completely alone.
Then if you're lucky, even you leave." – JOHN CAGE
