Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

I've been trying to pick up painting but it's hard.

The most difficult thing about painting is the self-discipline. When I finish a job, I give myself a few days, but then I have to discipline myself quite fiercely if I want to do some painting that's worthwhile. Otherwise, you're just doodling. It's much easier when you're just told what you have to do.

I found I have to stay painting.

To paint is the most terrific thing that there is, but to do it well is very difficult.

Painting constantly appeared to me as the one and only possible achievement.

Painting is a coalescing of experience.

Well, I've been painting for years. I just started doing a lot more in the last couple.

When things become peculiar, frustrating and strange, I think it's a good time to start painting.
