Painting Is Self-discovery. Every Good Artist Paints

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.

I Do Not Paint Nature. I Am Nature.

When I'm Painting, I'm Not Aware Of What I'm Doing. It's Only After A Get Acquainted Period That I See What I've Been About. I've No Fears About Making Changes For The Painting Has A Life Of Its Own.

It Is Only When I Lose Contact With The Painting That The Result Is A Mess. Otherwise There Is Pure Harmony, An Easy Give And Take, And The Painting Comes Out Well.

Today Painters Do Not Have To Go To A Subject Matter Outside Of Themselves. Most Modern Painters Work From A Different Source. They Work From Within.
