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

The process is only a means to an end-creating the painting I want. It doesn't mean anything itself. It's only a way of creating a result.

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

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.

It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. 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.
