A Picture Lives By Companionship, Expanding And

The People That Weep Before My Paintings Are Having The Same Religious Experience That I Had When I Painted It.

To Me Art Is An Adventure Into An Unknown World, Which Can Be Explored Only By Those Willing To Take The Risk.

There Is No Such Thing As Good Painting About Nothing.

The Reason For My Painting Large Canvases Is That I Want To Be Intimate And Human. To Paint A Small Picture Is To Place Yourself Outside Your Experience, To Look Upon An Experience As A Stereopticon View Or With A Reducing Glass. However You Paint The Larger Picture, You Are In It. It Isn't Something You Command.

A Painting Is Not A Picture Of An Experience, But Is The Experience.
