I Use The Gallery As

A Painter Must Think Of Everything He Sees As Being There Entirely For His Own Use And Pleasure.

The Paintings That Really Excite Me Have An Erotic Element Or Side To Them Irrespective Of Subject Matter

I Could Never Put Anything Into A Picture That Wasn't Actually There In Front Of Me. That Would Be A Pointless Lie, A Mere Bit Of Artfulness.

The Process Of Creation Becomes Necessary To The Painter Perhaps More Than Is The Picture. The Process In Fact Is Habit-forming

I Am Only Interested In Painting The Actual Person, In Doing A Painting Of Them, Not In Using Them To Some Ulterior End Of Art. For Me, To Use Someone Doing Something Not Native To Them Would Be Wrong.
