Fletcher Hayes – fine art

"The editing process creates the opportunity for the artist to perfect the original and change the story line. An original sketch might attempt to be a faithful depiction of the true subject, whereas the edits can be based more in the realm of desire — for perfection or something beyond what is actually there.
Truth is only accurate to the degree allowed by the observer’s memory and level of comprehension. No two individuals will recount the same event the same way. An important story will live on after the witnesses have departed. Each time the story gets told, it will be embellished and polished until it reaches heroic proportions."
