"The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting"__Vincent Van Gogh

 

A writer does not own words any more than a painter owns colors. So 
lets dispense with this originality fetish... Look, listen and 
transcribe and forget about being original." 
-- William S. Burroughs 

"A man's either an artist or a flat tire and what he does need not answer to anything, I'd say, except the energy of his creation"__Charles Bukowski


"The more artificial the world becomes, the more one is forced to experience the world and the world of relationships through a TV or computer screen, and the more extreme is the need for a human surface. Painting is uniquely placed to offer that." __Sean Scully
