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 do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there.

At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery.

I think you have to use your eyes as well as your emotion, and one without the other just doesn't work

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

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.
