Statement
The still life is the only form of painting where the artist is
in control of the entire subject and the environment it exists within.
I have the constant desire for accomplishment.
The more I paint the more there is to do.
But then, if I accomplish something, I'll have nothing to do.
Art is a great mystery. Every artist never stops learning – and
the audience has never quite mastered how to see.
Each still life has its own story to tell.
I start with nothing. When it is finished, I still have most of it.
I don't need to be better than anyone else. I just need to be better than I used to be.
Most of the time, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.
If I were able to say it in words, there would be no reason to paint.
