`Shows how an artist transforms idea and feelings into a finished canvas. In an informal `artist to artist` style, Hiram Williams discusses problems that confront all painters in their search for an idiom: What are the painter`s aims? What is the nature of artistic integrity? What makes a painting unique? What gives it expressive power? The author also gives advice on such practical matters as exhibiting artwork and selling it.
