If I feel a painting I'm working on doesn't have imagery or emotion, I paint it out and work over it until it does.
To be right is the most terrific personal state that nobody is interested in.
The final test of a painting, theirs, mine, any other, is: do the painter's emotions come across?
I paint not the things I see but the feelings they arouse in me.
You instinctively like what you can't do.
If you're a painter, you're not alone. There's no way to be alone.
