Walter Ogle Viable “I go into a light trance state when I work. The world disappears somehow, and I feel insulated. Maybe this is a common experience. My motivation is simply to let it happen. I am always surprised at the amount of time that elapses when I stop. I defend this concept because anyone’s work is completely subjective (personal feelings, tastes, opinions, biases, inspirations). There are plenty of times when a canvas gets destroyed or painted over, when I look at supposedly finished work.” On display from October 2-30 at the Peoria Art Guild Join us for the First Friday Reception on October 2, 2026
