I don't have much of a problem with interruptions. I keep a detailed record of paint and materials as a work on each painting. I can restart exactly where I left off.

Do not think that I have stopped painting, for at any moment, I am liable to paint a good picture.

The key is in remaining just aloof enough from a painting so that you know when to stop.

I wanted to deal with light directly rather than with paint.

It's a waste of time to think that if you colored a painting red what might have happened if you painted it black.

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 don't really care about interruptions. I accept technology, and I don't turn things off. I've found a peace with fragmentation and a harmony with switching gears quickly to other things.

If I hold up a red square for 30 seconds and take it away, you will see a perfect green square. It's how the eye works. So if you want to paint a really good red painting, you have to strategically place in some green, so the eye is brought back.

Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal.

It really is a day job, and it also seems to have virtually disappeared-with no remorse, really. It gives me more time to paint.
