Every Good Painter Paints What He Is.

Art Is Coming Face To Face With Yourself.

When I Am In A Painting, I'm Not Aware Of What I'm Doing. It Is Only After A Sort Of 'get Acquainted' Period That I See What I Have Been About. I Have No Fears About Making Changes, Destroying The Image, Etc, Because The Painting Has A Life Of Its Own. I Try To Let It Come Through. It Is Only When I Lose Contact With The Painting That The Result Is A Mess. Otherwise There Is Pure Harmony, An Easy Give And Take, And The Painting Comes Out Well.

You Can't Learn Techniques And Then Try To Become A Painter. Techniques Are A Result.

Painting Is A State Of Being.

I Have No Fear Of Making Changes, Destroying The Image, Etc., Because The Painting Has A Life Of Its Own.
