    • Most modern painters work from a different source. they work from within.
    Different Modern Source
    I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.
    Artist Usual Tools
    I've had a period of drawing on canvas in black - with some of my early images coming thru -, think the non-objectivists will find them disturbing - and the kids who think it simple to splash a 'pollock' out.
    Kids Simple Thinking
    The modern artist is living in a mechanical age and we have a mechanical means of representing objects in nature such as the camera and photograph. the modern artist, it seems to me, is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy , the motion and the other inner forces ... the modern artist is working with space and time , and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
    Mean Artist Space
    My painting does not come from the easel.
    Art Doe Architecture
    The painting has a life of its own
    Inspirational Art Intuition
    Well, method is, it seems to me, a natural growth out of a need, and from a need the modern artist has found new ways of expressing the world about him. i happen to find ways that are different from the usual techniques, which seems a little strange at the moment, but i don't think there's anything very different about it. i paint on the floor and this isn't unusual - the orientals did that.
    Thinking Artist Growth
    Most of the paint i use is a liquid, flowing kind of paint. the brushes i use are more a sticks rather than brushes – the brush doesn’t touch the surface on the canvas, it’s just above [so] i am able to be more free and to have greater freedom and move about the canvas, with greater ease.
    Moving Use Ease
    I do not paint nature. i am nature.
    Paint
    I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. but when you're painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge.
    Artist Littles Painting
    Every good painter paints what he is.
    Art Paint Artist
    I don't work from drawings and colour sketches into a final painting. painting, i think, today - the more immediate, the more direct - the greater the possibilities of making a direct - of making a statement.
    Thinking Drawing Finals
