Do something, do something to that, and then do something to that.

I'm not sure what 'coming out right' means. It often means that what you do holds a kind of energy that you wouldn't just put there, that comes about through grace of some sort.

Most of the power of painting comes through the manipulation of space... but I don't understand that.

When you work you learn something about what you are doing and you develop habits and procedures out of what you're doing.

I tend to like things that already exist.

Ideas either come or they don't come.

Sometimes I see it and then paint it. Other times I paint it and then see it. Both are impure situations, and I prefer neither.

I don't know how to organise thoughts. I don't know how to have thoughts.
