I don't feel right if I'm not painting. It's almost a compulsion -- or an addiction."
Mel McCuddin
He lays down layers of paint. He smears the colors around with a brush or maybe even a swatch cut from a worn-out pair of jeans. Then he’ll stare at the canvas and wait for an image to appear to that part of his subconscious that Mel McCuddin calls “the inner eye."
This book captures a chronological sampling of the wildly imaginative creations of McCuddin’s six-decade journey as a painter and some of the passionate fans who love him.
