I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it.

What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.

It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that's my method.

If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.

Maybe I am not very human - what I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.

I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions.
