Good and bad colors reflect the same light. Painting is always about here and there. All thought is a manual skill. There are no adjectives in black and white. Looking's erosion. Blue is a monument to the memory of red. Beauty is like a rock on the ground, hard and still and everywhere. Some colors are detergent, others solid steel. TWO EPIGRAMS 1 The oracle stutters, our Sybil's asleep - My themes, it seems, are not so deep 2 Any shape needs arms and legs (one head and a few small feet) Overlapped and clarified, Mute, but born to speak. A QUIP Style is sanity
