Earlier today I delivered a painting to the Hudson Valley Art Association's annual juried exhibit at the Lyme Art Association galleries. The trip from Pawlet, VT to Old Lyme, CT takes about four hours. I live a rather secluded life so I often use this time alone in the car to catch up on popular culture. As I drive I scan the radio to listen to what the rest of the country is listening to. Today there was a station playing classic rock music, where I relived a few tunes from my youth, another playing more current music, where I discovered music by artists I'd never heard of, for a few minutes I found one playing Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte, but that signal was weak and didn't last long. Between Hartford and Old Lyme there was a talk radio station that had an interview with Brian Eno. Truth be told I know very little about him or his music, but he sounded like a interesting person so I listened to what he had to say. Some I agreed with, some not so much. But near the end of the interview he made a wonderful observation, "Children play to learn" he said "and art is how adults play"...
