Andy Warhol said this:

My instinct about painting says, 'if you don't think about it,
it's right.' As soon as you have to decide and choose, it's
wrong. And the more you decide about, the more wrong it gets.

"Good color is not that which makes you aware of its brightness so much as that it gives

a dynamic sense of growing, expanding, breathing...........as a thing alive." PR McIntosh, my art professor.

"The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture
and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug;
it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly,
a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and
pleasure; it is a little like making love, the physical act of love."
Francis Bacon

Chang

Chang reflects my interest in oriental calligraphy. I like sumi painting and working from the chi. While I am not oriental I feel oriental. I know that makes no sense.

Mark Rothko said this:

" Iím not an abstractionist. Iím not interested in the
relationship of color or form or anything else. Iím interested
only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy,
doom, and so on."

Noguchi's Garden

enamel on canvas

40 x 40

This painting was inspired by the great sculptor Isamu Noguchi whom I met in New Orleans during the International Sculpture Conference of 1976. He was staying at the Holiday Inn where I was also staying! "Sam" as he was called, had a Japanese father and a Scottish mother from who he inherited his blue eyes. He has passed away unfortunately but now has a special museum dedicated to his work in Brooklyn, N.Y. I painted this homage to Noguchi and his sculpture garden.

"It is my dream to create an art which is filled with balance,
purity and calmness, freed from a subject matter that is
disconcerting or too attention-seeking. In my paintings, I wish
to create a spiritual remedy, similar to a comfortable armchair
which provides rest from physical expectation for the
spiritually working, the businessman as well as the artist."
Henri Matisse
