“It’s the satisfaction of pushing formless gobs of paint around until they
coalesce into something that looks real that excites me about painting. I’ve
tried, unsuccessfully, to paint with less detail but that is not who I am.
Leaving something incomplete, whether that be the subject or its environment,
pains me to the point of madness”
