I Prefer Images That Are Less Specific,

There Was A Whole Language That I Could Never Make Function For Myself In Relationship To Painting, And That Was Attitudes Like Tortured, Struggle, Pain.

One Has To Believe In What One Is Doing, One Has To Commit Oneself Inwardly, In Order To Do Painting. Once Obsessed, One Ultimately Carries It To The Point Of Believing That One Might Change Human Beings Through Painting. But If One Lacks This Passionate Commitment, There Is Nothing Left To Do. Then It Is Best To Leave It Alone.

Painting Is Always Strongest When In Spite Of Composition, Color, Etc., It Appears As A Fact, Or An Inevitability, As Opposed To A Souvenir Or Arrangement.

I Feel Strong In My Belief, Based On My Widely Traveled Collaborations, That A One-to-one Contact Through Art Contains Potent Peaceful Powers, And Is The Most Non-elitist Way To Share Information, Hopefully Seducing Us Into Creating Mutual Understandings For The Benefit Of All.

I'm Not So Facile That I Can Accomplish Or Find Out What I Want To Know Or Explore Enough Of The Possibilities And A Way Of Making A Painting, Say, In Just One Painting Or Two Paintings.
