Well I'd put my finger in the paint like that - I could smooth it with my finger much better than with a brush. I'd learned to do that. I took my finger and dipped it in white paint, and I looked to do that. I took my finger and dipped it in white paint and I looked at it and this white paint was a human face on the ball of my finger there. And while I was looking at it, just a warm flash kinda went all over me all the way down and said, Paint sacred art."" - Howard Finster""" One day - how I got started in art - when I was 60 years old, after I'd retired from pastoring, my shop was over in the garden that I have, my environment, I found out that when something got scratched, you do a touch up job on it.
