I always have a good reason for taking something out but I never have one for putting something in. And I don't want to, because that means that the picture is being painted predigested. ↗

I don't think any one person, whether artist or not, has been given permission by anyone to put the responsibility of the way things are on anyone else. ↗

One can see that a canvas is six feet by eight feet, say, quite accurately. But you can spend two minutes and think it's five, or thirty seconds and it's just a different bed for activities there. ↗
