If you want to be told what to think, well, I'm not in that business.

A great painting is a great painting.
eye differences painting
There's something always instinctively visually right about nature. There's no difference, to my eye, between looking at a great painting and looking at nature. Because painting, when it's great, has the same immutable rightness, unquestioned rightness, about it.
thinking years you-think-you-know
If you think you know where you're going to be 10 years from now, that's where you're at now. You're just putting it off.
color people painting
There are people who don't respond to color. That's what painting is. It's color.
