The "News"

Painting becomes very interesting when you start getting what William DeKooning calls "the news". This is what is beyond painting. It trickles in by its own strange ways. It happens when something that was there from a previous will or hope by me, starts to behave with something else that was put down for some other reason and resonates in ways that are beyond my will. Something larger that myself.

Painting speaks on its own voluptuous accord.

The question I usually ask myself after finishing a successful painting is- How did get to this point?
