Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.
People have always frightened and bored me consequently I have been within my own shell.
When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.
I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.
Art is coming face to face with yourself.
I've been thinking of death a lot, and I am amazed by its inevitability, frightened, as we all are, of the totally unknown, and yet feel a long sleep is somehow earned by those of us who live on the edge.
