The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Painting is not what my life is about, but it is very important to me, and I am very lucky to be able to give some time to it.
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
I found I have to stay painting.
My painting carries with it the message of pain.
Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can at it.
A painting is like a man. If you can live without it, then there isn't much point in having it.
Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul.
Painting is a very difficult thing. It absorbs the whole man, body and soul, thus have I passed blindly many things which belong to real and political life.
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.
I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.
