“But that's what reality is, a seesaw between glorious light and darkness. I have occasionally painted doors and windows, but not often. Details are not indicative. When you walk through a city you perceive the solidity of the volumes in your path, not the openings. In painting I don't go into detail in order to keep to the primary structure of the object.”
