Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.

Love is friendship set to music.

It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.

I do not paint nature. I am nature.

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

The painting has a life of its own

I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
