Im Not Someone Whos Ever Said Anything

I'm Not Interested In 'abstracting' Or Taking Things Out Or Reducing Painting To Design, Form, Line, And Color. I Paint This Way Because I Can Keep Putting More Things In It - Drama, Anger, Pain, Love, A Figure, A Horse, My Ideas About Space. Through Your Eyes It Again Becomes An Emotion Or Idea.

I Read Somewhere That Rubens Said Students Should Not Draw From Life, But Draw From All The Great Classic Casts. Then You Really Get The Measure Of Them, You Really Know What To Do. And Then, Put In Your Own Dimples. Isn't That Marvelous!
