When a painting problem crops up, don't rush to fix it. You probably already know one way to fix it, but wait for something else to show up... invite the muses to bring you a new solution.

Survival in more primitive ages required constant alertness, but survival in today's mechanized world almost demands that we turn off our senses. In urban life especially, there is too much to see, hear and smell.

Passion is the very fuel of inspiration.

There is value in being free and spontaneous but the greatest power comes from seeing and using what results from that freedom.
