The Painting Has A Life Of Its

When I Am In My Painting, I'm Not Aware Of What I'm Doing.

I Want To Express My Feelings, Not Illustrate Them.

People Have Always Frightened And Bored Me Consequently I Have Been Within My Own Shell.

With Experience It Seems To Be Possible To Control The Flow Of Paint, To A Great Extent, And I Don't Use - I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident... It's Quite Different From Working, Say, From A Still Life Where You Set Up Objects And Work Directly From Them. I Do Have A General Notion Of What I'm About And What The Results Will Be. I Approach Painting In The Same Sense As One Approaches Drawing, That Is, It's Direct.

Painting Is A State Of Being.
