I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause

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

On The Floor I Am More At Ease. I Feel Nearer, More Part Of The Painting, Since This Way I Can Walk Around It, Work From The Four Sides And Literally Be In The Painting.

Abstract Painting Is Abstract. It Confronts You. There Was A Reviewer A While Back Who Wrote That My Pictures Didn't Have Any Beginning Or Any End. He Didn't Mean It As A Compliment, But It Was.

I Continue To Get Further Away From The Usual Painter's Tools Such As Easel, Palette, Brushes, Etc. I Prefer Sticks, Trowels, Knives And Dripping Fluid Paint Or A Heavy Impasto With Sand, Broken Glass Or Other Foreign Matter Added.

When I Say Artist I Mean The Man Who Is Building Things - Creating Molding The Earth - Whether It Be The Plains Of The West - Or The Iron Ore Of Penn. It's All A Big Game Of Construction - Some With A Brush - Some With A Shovel - Some Choose A Pen.
