Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

Most artists look for something fresh to paint; frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.

If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.

What you have to do is break all the rules.

I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad.

I've tried never to be easily satisfied, and I've been painting like fury now for forty years.... I have a feeling. You paint about as far as your emotions go, and that's about it.
