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

When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama.

What you have to do is break all the rules.
eye thinking use
I think you have to use your eyes as well as your emotion, and one without the other just doesn't work
joy flying firsts
If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.

I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it... I always want to see the third dimension of something... I want to come alive with the object.
love art thinking
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
fear thinking quality
I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.
artist looks boring
Most artists look for something fresh to paint; frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.
believe positivity believe-in-yourself
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
