If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.

I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions.

I have tried to present my sensations in what is the most congenial and impressive form possible to me.

I once got a little camera to use for details of architecture and so forth but the photo was always so different from the perspective the eye gives, I gave it up.

When I don't feel in the mood for painting I go to the movies for a week or more. I go on a regular movie binge!

What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.

I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it.
