By the time you establish your priorities, there really isn't any fun or need to interest yourself in what you're doing. And this I find disastrous.

I want my paintings to look like what's going on outside my window rather than what's inside my studio.

One has to believe in what one is doing, one has to commit oneself inwardly, in order to do painting. Once obsessed, one ultimately carries it to the point of believing that one might change human beings through painting. But if one lacks this passionate commitment, there is nothing left to do. Then it is best to leave it alone.

Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.

Basically painting is total idiocy.

I wouldn't use the same color in a picture in more than one place
