ALL ARTISTS SHOULD BE FAITHFUL TO THE FLATNESS OF THE CANVAS. I must suggest depth and movement, contrasts in color, form and texture. I must speak through the paint, not through words. My expression is color. "The whole world will see it visually as I do.." I am balanced through an impulse of control, not a picture but an event. What is to go on a painting is the birth of action painting. You become what you think about. I also want to reinforce what has worked for me in maintaining a positive approach to life. One must manage one's energy levels, keep one's soul alive, take new paths, burn brightly without burning out, and live in awe. Take quiet time alone. Live a life that shows it. Be still enough to find the answers within and listen to them. Your goals should stem from your values, and then your work will radiate your heart's desire. Wherever you live, be sure to have full view of the trees, sky and land. Possess kindness and have an essence of spirituality that radiates outwardly.
