I Follow The Rules Until I Go

In Relations With People, As In Art, If You Always Stick To Style, Manners, And What Will Work, And You're Never Caught Off Guard, Then Some Beautiful Experiences Never Happen.

What Concerns Me When I Work, Is Not Whether The Picture Is A Landscape, Or Whether It's Pastoral, Or Whether Somebody Will See A Sunset In It. What Concerns Me Is - Did I Make A Beautiful Picture?

What Has Made It Work, Or What Makes Certain Paintings Successful Or Not, Has To Do With My Being A Painter And A Thinking, Feeling Person, More Than My Sex, Color, Height, Origin.

There Are No Rules. Let The Picture Lead You Where It Must Go.

I've Explored A Variety Of Directions And Themes Over The Years. But I Think In My Painting You Can See The Signature Of One Artist, The Work Of One Wrist.
