Picture Quotes
-
Artists are mechanics who work with their hands, making things. Artists are involved with the means of creativity, the nature of skills, the revelation of making. Art comes from the work, I see a painting as an expressive entity. There's no picture that I know of where the subject carries as much expressive possibility as the actual execution of the picture.

Light enhances but its shadow deletes, thus giving the picture its depth, its third dimension and its subtractive properties...
