From My Point Of View,

I Always Thought That One Of The Reasons Why A Painter Likes Especially To Have Other Painters Look At His Or Her Work Is The Shared Experience Of Having Pushed Paint Around.

While Photography Is The Easiest Medium In Which To Be Competent, It Is The Hardest In Which To Develop An Idiosyncratic Personal Vision.

Painting Is The Frozen Evidence Of A Performance.

At The Same Time That I'm Finding The Color World I Want, I'm Also Trying To Make The Imagery, You Know, By The Nature Of The Strokes Themselves.

A Face Is A Road Map Of Someone's Life. Without Any Need To Amplify That Or Draw Attention To It, There's A Great Deal That's Communicated About Who This Person Is And What Their Life Experiences Have Been.
