“Whether I’m painting or not, I have this overweening interest in humanity. Even if I’m not working, I’m still analyzing people.” -Alice Neel
“All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.” -Eckhart Tolle
“I’m painting an idea not an ideal. Basically I’m trying to paint a structured painting full of controlled, and therefore potent, emotion.” -Euan Uglow
“I dream a lot. I do more painting when I’m not painting. It’s in the subconscious.” -Andrew Wyeth
