There Is Nothing That Special To See

Even When I Have To Write A Simple Letter I'm Scared Stiff As If Faced With Looming Seasickness.

Although Even When I Am Being Idle I Have Plenty Of Food For Thought Both Early And Late - Thoughts Both About And Not About Art.

There Is Nothing That Special To See When Looking At Me. I'm A Painter Who Paints Day In Day Out, From Morning Till Evening - Figure Pictures And Landscapes, More Rarely Portraits.

I Have The Gift Of Neither The Spoken Nor The Written Word, Especially If I Have To Say Something About Myself Or My Work. Whoever Wants To Know Something About Me -as An Artist, The Only Notable Thing- Ought To Look Carefully At My Pictures And Try And See In Them What I Am And What I Want To Do.

Sometimes I Miss Out The Morning's Painting Session And Instead Study My Japanese Books In The Open.
