A Painter's Tastes Must Grow Out Of

It Is Through Observation And Perception Of Atmosphere That He [the Artist] Can Register The Feeling That He Wishes His Painting To Give Out.

I Don't Want Any Colour To Be Noticeable... I Don't Want It To Operate In The Modernist Sense As Colour, Something Independent... Full, Saturated Colours Have An Emotional Significance I Want To Avoid.

I Have A Hatred Of Habit And Routine. And What Dogs Love Is Just That. They Like Regular Everything, And I Don't Have Regular Anything. I Have A Timetable, But No Routine.

Sometimes, When I've Been Staring Too Hard, I've Noticed That I Could See The Circumference Of My Own Eye.

The Painter's Obsession With His Subject Is All That He Needs To Drive Him To Work.
