Art is a line around your thoughts.

I have the gift of neither the spoken nor the written word, especially if I have to say something about myself or my work. Whoever wants to know something about me -as an artist, the only notable thing- ought to look carefully at my pictures and try and see in them what I am and what I want to do.

Sometimes I miss out the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open.

Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art.

If the weather is good I go into the nearby wood - there I am painting a small beech forest (in the sun) with a few conifers mixed in. This takes until 8 'o clock.

There is always hope, as long as the canvases are empty.

There is nothing that special to see when looking at me.
