A Canvas Is Never Empty.

Even At This Late Date, I Go Into My Studio, And I Think 'is This Going To Be It? Is It The End?' You See, Nearly Everything Terrorizes Me. When An Artist Loses That Terror, He's Through.

I Feel As Though The World Is A Friendly Boy Walking Along In The Sun.

And I Think A Painting Has Such A Limited Life Anyway

Art Is A Means To Function Thoroughly And Passionately In A World That Has A Lot More To It Than Paint.

I Am Sick Of Talking About What And Why I Am Doing. I Have Always Believed That The Work Is The Word. Action Is Seen Less Clearly Through Reason. There Are No Shortcuts To Directness.
