Dick Frizzell and ArtZone square off for a lively Q&A:
What does a typical day look like?
A typical day…? Answering questionnaires. Out to the studio by 9am. Correspondence until 10. Then to work. Writing if I’m writing. Planning canvases, references, dreams and schemes if I’m painting. Knock off for lunch with Listener or New Yorker. Siesta til 2pm. Walk til 3. Work til 5. Knock off. Go in.
Describe your creative process.
Finding the right metaphor for an emotional response to the world. Hoping to put onto the canvas, or into the book, enough straight forward information to take the viewer or the reader directly to the experience.
