I constantly have to negotiate with my doubts.

What is bad painting? Picabia made some deliberately bad paintings, but they were by him, so great in a way.

It's still an escape for me, painting, so it also takes me elsewhere. I don't think I would do it otherwise.

I also learned that you are affected by your environment, even if you try not to be. Color, light that is, matters because you want to do justice to it and also you get excited by it.

There could be a hundred paintings in every one painting, depending on when you stop.

I would never finish a painting if I didnt have a deadline.

I'm not one of those artists having people there lying around on their paintings, you know, like Hockney or whoever.
