I Love The Passion You Go Through

My Lovely Wife Janet Has Been In A Few Paintings. She Is Basically A Reserved Woman Who Has Never Sought The Limelight. She Has Always Been There Throughout My Career And Continues To Be At My Side.

I Always Stayed In Tune With My Own Ambitions And Attitudes And I'm Still My Intractable Old Self, For Better Or Worse.

I Have Always Said To Young Artists That Scholastic Training And The Studying Of Art History Are Crucial To Fully Developing As An Artist.

There's No Greatest Moment In The Arts. It's A Life; It's A Continuity Thing. You Can't Have A Great Moment Because It's Spiritual. It's A Belief; It's A Calling. If You're An Artist, Doing Your Own Thing On Your Own, It's While You're Doing It That Counts. It's A Process. If You Get Too Elated, You Can Get Too Depressed.

As I Turn 91... I Have To Admit My Hours At The Easel Have Diminished.
