I'd like you know what your thoughts are behind creating the piece - how you even got the idea to use the wind turbines! I really admire your desire to make art that's like music - it's not exclusive, anyone can enjoy it. And the images - especially yours, I've found, and always really enjoyed when I started watching you - they just sing and invite you to join in, right? Kind of like that. At least I've thought so anyway.
I find, that the only thing better than a good piece of art, is a good piece of art that the artist loved making, so I think you're on the right track, and I'm so excited to see where your train travels!

mmmm...trains...
I think the desire to use wind-turbines is just part of getting in touch with your personal tastes and obsessions- I've loved them since I was a kid in Holland- the size and shape and movement, the pattern of them- I find them kind of magical and soothing.
That extra element you talk about- about an artist loving what they made- I think that happens when they make something specific to them, their experiences, etc. Something personally meaningful- and for whatever reason, that's wind turbines! I kind of feel my way towards meaning- so it's not a very logical answer, because it's not a very logical process! The things you think are weird about you? those are your best bits. USE EM! then eventually people might actually pay you to do things that mean something to you.

Ah now, that's just something I love to hear. It's all good and fine to make things other people enjoy of course, but doesn't having the individual skill to draw permit you to manifest and share your own dreams?
On that note, thank you for sharing a personal piece of yourself! It's just exciting to look at, those weird parts of yourself that haven't been tampered with by outside knowledge. That really inspired me, I really feel like I'm on the right path, I just want to go out and work harder at being myself. What's more, I just feel so beside myself that I get to know more about you -- Wind turbines in Holland!
I think that's a very accurate answer too, "because it's not a very logical process". I mean, as a kid, most of what there is is feelings, you may or may not understand what it is, why it is, how it is, but it is. And if you can draw that - well, it just speaks for itself! Just like right here, when I look at it I think "That's just, right."
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to elaborate on it for me, it seems even dreamier now than before.

^_^ thanks for asking good questions- it's nice to feel like people are interested in talking about work I'm doing- that's great!
Best of luck making art that is uniquely you- I look forward to seeing where it takes you

Yaaay!!!
PS: I have to use this little conversation between you and me to said that I'm developing my portfolio and you are one of the very influential artist that I'm using as an example of good work.

Wind turbines. They don't grind anything so they aren't mills.
Brilliant work nonethless
