Label:

“There is no formula for abstract painting. If there was, it would have died years ago. Each artist has his own approach. I use a subject only for inspiration. Then I break it down to its simplest elements and develop it from there. There is excitement planning a movement around a pivot, in, out, and across the picture plane to plot a design which is vibrant with harmonic life. . . . A harmony in painting flows in and through the field by virtue of relationships of color, space, and plane.”
