Art is a solitary occupation. For it is only in solitude, like in a dream, that we can really be in tune with our creative self. Whether you are a plein-air painter or prefer to work in the confines of a comfortable room or studio, solitude is the catalyst behind great works of art. One can be most happy while in this mode.
This is not to say that we artists are anti-social. Quite the contrary. The more social we are, the better. It's just that when we are wanting to make serious work, solitude is for the time being, our best friend.
