At 87, artist Peter Saul is free as a bird. He has the luxury to pick and choose only the things he likes to do, most of the time. His imagination continues to run free, allowing him to translate his razor sharp observations of the world and unique sense of humor onto the canvas. “I just do whatever I want,” he told #ArtnetNews. Such freedom, however, comes with discipline. At least, this seems to be the case for the veteran painter. He still keeps a daily routine, albeit a relaxing one. He makes breakfast while “wasting time” in the morning. His afternoons are usually action-packed, working rigorously in the his studio, which is located above the space where his wife, Sally, makes ceramics. He reads books while waiting for the paint to dry. “Even acrylic takes a few minutes to dry,” he quips. Sally gets dinner ready at about 7:30 p.m., and that is when Saul puts his paint brushes down for the night.
