Ask yourself, 'What is obstructing my vision?' What is the difference between seeing and looking?

Representational painters: place your works in a larger context. Give your work not only breadth but breath. Do not 'copy' what you see outwardly but give it 'spirit.

Abstract painters: redefine your perspectives. Think in terms of the whole, not simply its parts.

The great square has no corners and the great implement completes nothing.
