Every Canvas Is A Journey All Its

I Had The Landscape In My Arms As I Painted It. I Had The Landscape In My Mind And Shoulder And Wrist.

I Have Always Been Concerned With Painting That Simultaneously Insists On A Flat Surface And Then Denies It.

I Don't Start With A Color Order, But Find The Colors As I Go.

Every So Often Every Artist Feels, 'i'll Never Paint Again. The Muse Has Gone Out The Window.' In 1985, I Hardly Painted At All For Three Months, And It Was Agonizing. I Looked At Reproductions. I Stared At Matisse. I Stared At The Old Masters. I Stared At The Quattrocento. And I Thought To Myself - Don't Push It! If You Try Too Hard To Get At Something, You Almost Push It Away.

There Are Many Accidents That Are Nothing But Accidents-and Forget It. But There Are Some That Were Brought About Only Because You Are The Person You Are... You Have The Wherewithal, Intelligence, And Energy To Recognize It And Do Something With It.
