I Use The Gallery As If It

I Am Only Interested In Painting The Actual Person, In Doing A Painting Of Them, Not In Using Them To Some Ulterior End Of Art. For Me, To Use Someone Doing Something Not Native To Them Would Be Wrong.

The Process Of Creation Becomes Necessary To The Painter Perhaps More Than Is The Picture. The Process In Fact Is Habit-forming

I Don't Want Any Colour To Be Noticeable... I Don't Want It To Operate In The Modernist Sense As Colour, Something Independent... Full, Saturated Colours Have An Emotional Significance I Want To Avoid.

A Painter Must Think Of Everything He Sees As Being There Entirely For His Own Use And Pleasure.

I Would Wish My Portraits To Be Of The People, Not Like Them. Not Having A Look Of The Sitter, Being Them.
