When I Think Of Art I Think

What We Really Want To Do Is Serve Happiness. We Want Everyone To Be Happy, Never Unhappy Even For A Moment. We Want The Animals To Be Happy. The Happiness Of Every Living Thing Is What We Want.

Of All The Pitfalls In Our Paths And The Tremendous Delays And Wanderings Off The Track, I Want To Say That They Are Not What They Seem To Be. I Want To Say That All That Seems Like Fantastic Mistakes Are Not Mistakes, All That Seems Like Error Is Not Error; And It All Has To Be Done. That Which Seems Like A False Step Is The Next Step.

I Would Like My Work To Be Recognized As Being In The Classical Tradition (coptic, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese), As Representing The Ideal In The Mind. Classical Art Cannot Possibly Be Eclectic. One Must See The Ideal In One's Own Mind. It Is Like A Memory - An Awareness -of Perfection.

My Paintings Are Not About What Is Seen. They Are About What Is Known Forever In The Mind.

That Which Takes Us By Surprise-moments Of Happiness-that Is Inspiration.
