Painting with Intention: Lucas Strain on Creativity, Discipline, and Nature
Lucas Strain
“Doing something with your hands and making something that's so unique and special is not something someone can easily take. I always really gravitated towards things like that.”
“I really don't like making mistakes, so I almost tend to think about it at this point like, if I keep fucking up, I will be really great one day.”
“I'm mostly inspired by nature. I grew up on my own for the most part, so I spent a lot of time outside, looking at the color palette and the grains of wood or the color of feathers.”
“Life's really short, and you should do exactly what you know would make you happy. And if you try really hard at it, you will find a way to make it sustainable for your life.”
“I look to create that same sense I see when I look out in nature. That sense of joy and whatever divine spiritual creation that is the world. Something organic and natural, but almost precious like a rock.”
