Put light against light - you have nothing. Put dark against dark - you have nothing. It's the contrast of light and dark that each give the other one meaning.

Within one hour of touching the brush to canvas for the first time, my students have a total, complete painting.

If you do too much it's going to lose its effectiveness.

If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it is.

I guess I’m a little weird. I like to talk to trees and animals. That’s okay though; I have more fun than most people.

Most painters want recognition, especially by their peers.
