I might work on a painting for a month, but it has too look like I painted it in a minute.

Not even for a million dollars would I paint a tree.

I make pictures and someone comes in and calls it art.

Even abstract shapes must have a likeness

Art never seems to make me peaceful or pure.

I think I'm painting a picture of two women but it may turn out to be a landscape.

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.
