I have always attempted to create images that deliver the maximum amount of information about the subject.
Most people are good at too many things. And when you say someone is focused, more often than not what you actually mean is they're very narrow.
I only have so much time and energy and money, and I'm going to put it into my work.
Ease is the enemy of the artist. When things get too easy, you're in trouble.
Painting is the frozen evidence of a performance.
I did some pastels and I did other pieces in which there was just basically one color per square, and then they would get bigger and I could get 2 or 3 colors into the square, and ultimately I just started making oil paintings.
