The Only Quality That Endures In Art

After All, We Are Not French And Never Can Be, And Any Attempt To Be So Is To Deny Our Inheritance And To Try To Impose Upon Ourselves A Character That Can Be Nothing But A Veneer Upon The Surface.

When I Don't Feel In The Mood For Painting I Go To The Movies For A Week Or More. I Go On A Regular Movie Binge!

If The Picture Needs Varnishing Later, I Allow A Restorer To Do That, If There's Any Restoring Necessary.

No Amount Of Skillful Invention Can Replace The Essential Element Of Imagination.

I Trust Winsor And Newton And I Paint Directly Upon It.
