If you can see it, and if you know your color, you can paint it.

Nature is the best and really the only real vocabulary that an artist can legitimately work with.

Photographs and reality are just night and day. In reality, the information is all there. A photograph is just kind of a hint.

I'm drawing in my head pretty much.

So really what I am trying to do is create and understand form. But then too, color enters into it because a lot of things are color changes without a value change, which wouldn't show up if you were just using a non-color medium.

If you can see it, and if you know your color, you can paint it.

A language not based on universal symbols or sensations is gibberish, a pitfall of modern art, no longer modern.
