I Don't Express Myself In My Paintings.

A Picture Lives By Companionship, Expanding And Quickening In The Eyes Of The Sensitive Observer

I Am Here To Make You Think. . . . I Am Not Here To Make Pretty Pictures!

The Artist Invites The Spectator To Take A Journey Within The Realm Of The Canvas... Without Taking The Journey, The Spectator Has Really Missed The Essential Experience Of The Picture.

The Reason For My Painting Large Canvases Is That I Want To Be Intimate And Human. To Paint A Small Picture Is To Place Yourself Outside Your Experience, To Look Upon An Experience As A Stereopticon View Or With A Reducing Glass. However You Paint The Larger Picture, You Are In It. It Isn't Something You Command.

I Also Hang The Pictures Low Rather Than High, And Particularly In The Case Of The Largest Ones, Often As Close To The Floor As Is Feasible, For That Is The Way They Are Painted.
