When I paint, I don't know. I don't know, I mean I do know.But...I don't really know. I never do what I want to do. The painting answers back to me. But only after it is finished.
 
"Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely.Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day" (Winston Churchill)
 
 
"Every artist dips his brush in his soul and paints his own nature into his pictures" (Henry Beecher)
