When he said alot of his faces are from imagination i was actually blown away just wow!

What a genius he is! Such a great conversation. Thanks for sharing this Jeff!

That was the best, Ron Hicks is one of my favorites, so incredible, what a master. Thank you for this, and the questions you asked to get those nuggets of gold all the way through, Wow!

Great to hear Ron's history and see his work!

I don’t know why YouTube decided to offer this diamond in a pile of other videos. It’s an answer to my unuttered prayers. Thank you ❤

I LOVE these interviews and this one is so important. thanks. I am unable to be a patron now but will if ever I can and meanwhile thank all those who are able! Deeply appreciative.

Maybe Ron Hicks should start a school about how to find our own truth❤! Fantastic interview!!! Worth a 2nd, 3rd listen to take in all the goodness 💕

Finding your own artist truth in your work I completely identify with.  If somebody else enjoys it too more the better.  I don't need to earn an art living so I'm enjoying freedom in retirement to find my art and really enjoying not feeling the need to be accepted by contests, galleries, or collectors.  Guess what he's right about this.  Success is found through freedom and personal truth.  Paint with conviction and learn from a bold approach.

It’s so interesting how in higher levels of any art, the intuitive is what artists point to or suggest that that is what’s required to tap into. Whether it’s painting or music or dance or what have you. I used to be big into martial arts and a big admirer of Bruce Lee. Believe it or not he was a highly evolved human being. He echoed a great many of the things that Ron has discovered for himself and is trying to impart. How man, or the creative human individual is more important than any crystallized or established system or style.
I’m butchering this quote from BL but as I recall it’s something like:

Learn the form.
Create the form.
Perfect the form.
Dissolve the form.
Abandon the form.

Loved this conversation.

Thanks Jeff great podcast. Yes, we did simultaneous contrast in a university art class using colors from a color pack.
The truth about color is that it’s all relative to what’s next to it .
Rather a Zen moment in my life !❤👍

Another episode to binge 🔥

Thanks for interviewing Ron Hicks. Love your podcast. Thanks

...and you make what you are!

This is one of the meatiest conversations to date. Thank you, Jeff and Ron for this great melding of ideas. I too believe firmly and with personal conviction that the fundamentals must be balanced during the teaching process with the exploration of "self" choices. Kudo's to you both for this much needed insight.
