Painting Is Like A Chemistry Experiment
a: Painting ~
b: a chemistry experiment
What: "To me, the subject is not as important as the interplay of light and shadow, the arrangement of elements and color. Sometimes I think painting is like a chemistry experiment. Each color laid down reacts to the color next to it. "

Painting Is Like Boxing
a: Painting ~
b: Boxing
What: "Couldn't get the legs to behave, she was getting tired and her right knee started to droop. The sun came in lower and lower through the west-facing window changing all the colors every 20 minutes. I felt I had met my match.
Then time was up. I look at it now and maybe it wasn't such a smack down after all. Judges will decide."

a: painting a car ~
b: building a house
What:
"Unfortunately, painting a car is like building a house, everything builds on top of the foundation. If the foundation is off, everything else will be as well. The same goes for the body."

Painting Is Like Composing A Jazz Song
a: Painting for me ~
b: composing a jazz song
What: "My work is for the creative intellect. Chance, spontaneity, lyrical and rebellious are qualities in the work. Painting for me is like composing a jazz song... direct, romantic, unconventional and individualistic. Non-idiomatic improvisation and rhythmic motion of the unconscious are how I attack the canvas. The process of making art for me is emotionally charging and spiritual."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
