Turner's painting
The spontaneity to retain
the grandeur of the moment,
to spend hours at the task and struggle with the canvas, the technique and the resistance
of the material and the medium,
the precision breaking at a critical stage,
the vagueness that overshadows
and conquers the vision, a happy error,
and when the hand and the eye decide to pause...
that moment of withdrawal is the moment of art and the artist. Magnanimity is born out of mundane struggles.
