I have this recollection. I used to sometimes visit Bruce Bailie
when he lived by the ocean up in Caspar near Fort Bragg California.
One time I noticed a piece of paper with some colors on it tacked to
the door of his house. He explained that he had hoped that the
weather over time would somehow make it art. He said it was a
failure. The approach didn't really work. This was coming from
someone who once told me, upon seeing some of my "chancy" in camera
triple exposed images, that it would be "brilliant" had I done it
intentionally.
I once told this story to my painting teacher Harold Gregor (Phd. in
painting of all things and himself a masterful painter and teacher),
he said "your friend is very wise".......
