Every Good Painter Paints What He Is.

I Don't Work From Drawings And Colour Sketches Into A Final Painting. Painting, I Think, Today - The More Immediate, The More Direct - The Greater The Possibilities Of Making A Direct - Of Making A Statement.

Abstract Painting Is Abstract. It Confronts You.

When I Am In A Painting, I'm Not Aware Of What I'm Doing. It Is Only After A Sort Of 'get Acquainted' Period That I See What I Have Been About. I Have No Fears About Making Changes, Destroying The Image, Etc, Because The Painting Has A Life Of Its Own. I Try To Let It Come Through. It Is Only When I Lose Contact With The Painting That The Result Is A Mess. Otherwise There Is Pure Harmony, An Easy Give And Take, And The Painting Comes Out Well.

My Concern Is With The Rhythms Of Nature I Work Inside Out, Like Nature.

Most Of The Paint I Use Is A Liquid, Flowing Kind Of Paint. The Brushes I Use Are More A Sticks Rather Than Brushes – The Brush Doesn’t Touch The Surface On The Canvas, It’s Just Above [so] I Am Able To Be More Free And To Have Greater Freedom And Move About The Canvas, With Greater Ease.
