I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.

I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.

I am doubtful of any talent, so whatever I choose to be, will be accomplished only by long study and work

A method of painting is a natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

When I am painting I have a general notion as to what I am about. I can control the flow of paint: there is no accident.

It seems to me that the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture. Each age find its own technique.

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.
