Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you.

Bums are the well-to-do of this day. They didn't have as far to fall.

When I'm painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It's only after a get acquainted period that I see what I've been about. I've no fears about making changes for the painting has a life of its own.

If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means.

It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.
