I Follow The Rules Until I Go

A Really Good Picture Looks As If It's Happened At Once. It's An Immediate Image. For My Own Work, When A Picture Looks Labored And Overworked, And You Can Read In It As Well - She Did This And Then She Did That; There Is Something In It That Has Not Got To Do With Beautiful Art To Me. And I Usually Throw These Out, Though I Think Very Often It Takes Ten Of Those Over-labored Efforts To Produce One Really Beautiful Wrist Motion That Is Synchronized With Your Head And Heart, And You Have It, And Therefore It Looks As If It Were Born In A Minute.

In Relations With People, As In Art, If You Always Stick To Style, Manners, And What Will Work, And You're Never Caught Off Guard, Then Some Beautiful Experiences Never Happen.

I Follow The Rules Until I Go Against Them All.

I've Explored A Variety Of Directions And Themes Over The Years. But I Think In My Painting You Can See The Signature Of One Artist, The Work Of One Wrist.

I'd Rather Risk An Ugly Surprise Than Rely On Things I Know I Can Do.
