We lived in my father's studio, so there were the brushes and the pencils and the paint. So it would - it was very natural for me to want to paint, I think, and it was never a question.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I had a place with a studio where I could paint I'd be happy.
Would that we could at once paint with the eyes! In the long way from the eye through the arm to the pencil, how much is lost!
People say, 'Why don't you just paint with paintbrushes?' I say that I feel more connected to my painting using my skin. It's very tribal in a way - savage!
I want paint to work as flesh.
That's what I paint, I paint people. They're portraits, but you won't always be pleased with the way you look in my paintings. Which is fine, I guess. Unless you're buying it, and it's of your kid!
I don't paint. I am a hobbyist photographer, so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.
I've always loved painting and drawing. I wish I'd developed it more and exhibited.
I cannot remember a time when I was not interested in both gardening and painting. I must have been born with a trowel in one hand and a paintbrush in the other.
In my experience a painting is not made with colors and paint at all. I don't know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint?
If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn't have to paint at all.
