It's A Nice Feeling To Go Out

Ive Zeroed In On What You Would Call Action And Excellence... Everybody Who Does Anything To Try To Succeed Has To Give The Best Of Themselves, And Art Has Made Me Pull The Best Out Of Myself.

It's A Nice Feeling To Go Out In The World And Look For Excellence - The Best In Man. My Subject Is Very Valid. It's About People, And About Life.

It's Not The Act Of Arrogance To Draw, It's Humbling - You Must Use Your God-given Talent. And Of All The People I Sketch, In Most Cases I Feel I Have To Measure Up To The Subject.

The Big Shock Of My Life Was Abstract Expressionism - Pollock, De Kooning, Those Guys. It Changed My Work. I Was An Academically Trained Student, And Suddenly You Could Pour Paint, Smear It On, Broom It On!

My Lovely Wife Janet Has Been In A Few Paintings. She Is Basically A Reserved Woman Who Has Never Sought The Limelight. She Has Always Been There Throughout My Career And Continues To Be At My Side.
