american-artist beneath bone dead feeling landscape loneliness prefer structure waits winter
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show.
creative fleeting frozen
It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.
expression design significant
My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work; to leave no residue of technical mannerisms to stand between my expression and the observer. To seek freedom through significant form and design rather than through the diversion of so-called free and accidental brush handling.
emotional purpose crafts
My aim is not to exhibit craft, but rather to submerge it, and make it rightfully the handmaiden of beauty, power and emotional content.
juicy painter
I am not a juicy painter.
superficial-things technique would-be
To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
painting mood objects
I'm not at all interested in painting the object just as it is in nature. Certainly I'm much more interested in the mood of a thing than the truth of a thing.
deception foils pencils
My pencil is like a fencer's foil.
anybody secretive somebody watch watching
I'm a secretive bastard. I would never let anybody watch me painting... it would be like somebody watching you have sex - painting is that personal to me.
