The Painting Has A Life Of Its

A Real Friend Is Someone You Say A Sentence To And They Know Ten Thousand Words Behind That Sentence.

On The Floor I Am More At Ease. I Feel Nearer, More Part Of The Painting, Since This Way I Can Walk Around It, Work From The Four Sides And Literally Be In The Painting.

I Want To Express My Feelings, Not Illustrate Them.

With Experience It Seems To Be Possible To Control The Flow Of Paint, To A Great Extent, And I Don't Use - I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident... It's Quite Different From Working, Say, From A Still Life Where You Set Up Objects And Work Directly From Them. I Do Have A General Notion Of What I'm About And What The Results Will Be. I Approach Painting In The Same Sense As One Approaches Drawing, That Is, It's Direct.

I Have No Fear Of Making Changes, Destroying The Image, Etc., Because The Painting Has A Life Of Its Own.
