It's absurd to talk about paintings that you haven't finished.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My paintings are rubbish.
My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.
I feel like there's too many paintings left unpainted that I just don't want to take the time away.
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
I don't dare to think my paintings are great. I can't understand the arrogance of someone saying, 'I have created a big, important work.'
I think that most people think painters are kind of ridiculous, you know?
Do not think that I have stopped painting, for at any moment, I am liable to paint a good picture.
Ironically, my paintings don't photograph well.
I would never finish a painting if I didn't have a deadline.
Our experience of any painting is always the latest line in a long conversation we've been having with painting. There's no way of looking at art as though you hadn't seen art before.
