Asked how long it takes her to complete a painting,
Mason concedes she's not sure because she tends
to work on several pieces at the same time. "All I know," she
explains, "is that you breathe differently when it's finished.
Often I'll keep a painting around . . . until there's one more
twist to add. It's that extra twist, that extra thought, that
extra dimension . . . that magical thing you can't predict"
that completes a work of art. H
Editor's Note: Shows of Emily Mason's paintings are usually held alternate
