Every Good Painter Paints What He Is.

When I Say Artist I Mean The Man Who Is Building Things - Creating Molding The Earth - Whether It Be The Plains Of The West - Or The Iron Ore Of Penn. It's All A Big Game Of Construction - Some With A Brush - Some With A Shovel - Some Choose A Pen.

He Drove His Kind Of Realism At Me So Hard I Bounced Right Into Nonobjective Painting.

On The Floor I Am More At Ease. I Feel Nearer, More Part Of The Painting, Since This Way I Can Walk Around It, Work From The Four Sides And Literally Be In The Painting.

Technique Is Just A Means Of Arriving At A Statement.

The Secret Of Success Is… To Be Fully Awake To Everything About You.
