I'm not interested in 'abstracting' or taking things out or reducing painting to design, form, line, and color. I paint this way because I can keep putting more things in it - drama, anger, pain, love, a figure, a horse, my ideas about space. Through your eyes it again becomes an emotion or idea.

Spiritually I am wherever my spirit allows me to be, and that is not necessarily in the future... Art never seems to make me peaceful or pure.

Content is a glimpse of something, an encounter like a flash. It's very tiny - very tiny. Content.

I have to change to stay the same.

Whatever an artist's personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.

What you do when you paint, you take a brush full of paint, get paint on the picture, and you have faith.

The problem with property is that it takes so much of your time.
