Years of writing, acting, and making theater taught me that structure is the key to the unconscious. Attend to the form, and what you mean comes through on its own, the more true it becomes. In painting, the more closely I render a petal or a shadow, the more of myself goes into it, in ways I couldn't describe.

Landscape is where the work is going next. Since you can't paint every detail of an outdoor space, you must choose the elements that matter, that are memorable. What I leave out, and how I compose what remains, is the statement.
