Only once in the last thirty years have I made a duplicate, and that was a watercolor from my oil picture now owned by the Layton Art Gallery, Milwaukee, called 'Hark! the Lark.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wouldn't use the same color in a picture in more than one place.
I wanted to make something very unique, something very different.
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
I really admire paintings that look like an actual snapshot - I think that's just extraordinary.

If London is a watercolor, New York is an oil painting.
Painting seems like some kind of peculiar miracle that I need to have again and again.
I still have an old painting the Colonel gave me. It was the first time the Colonel had been back to the Hilton since Elvis had passed away.

Every time I started painting it was like a new experience, but they all came out the same.
