Silence Is So Accurate.

A Painting Is Not A Picture Of An Experience, But Is The Experience.

When I Was A Younger Man, Art Was A Lonely Thing. No Galleries, No Collectors, No Critics, No Money. Yet, It Was A Golden Age, For We All Had Nothing To Lose And A Vision To Gain. Today It Is Not Quite The Same. It Is A Time Of Tons Of Verbiage, Activity, Consumption. Which Condition Is Better For The World At Large I Shall Not Venture To Discuss. But I Do Know, That Many Of Those Who Are Driven To This Life Are Desperately Searching For Those Pockets Of Silence Where We Can Root And Grow. We Must All Hope We Find Them.

This World Of The Imagination Is Fancy-free And Violently Opposed To Common Sense.

If You Are Only Moved By Color Relationships, You Are Missing The Point. I Am Interested In Expressing The Big Emotions - Tragedy, Ecstasy, Doom.

There Is No Such Thing As Good Painting About Nothing.
