Quotes from the same author
I can never accomplish what I want - only what I would have wanted had I thought of it beforehand.
Richard Diebenkorn
I have found in my still-life work that I seem to be able to tell what objects are important to me by what tends to stay in the painting as it develops.

Somehow don't be bored, but if you must, use it in action. Use its destructive potential.
