It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.

To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.

I'm a secretive bastard. I would never let anybody watch me painting... it would be like somebody watching you have sex - painting is that personal to me.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show.

If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.
