"There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I'm a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits."
Appearance
"There is no self-portrait of me."
Self
"True relaxation, which would do me the world of good, does not exist for me."
Life
"Sometimes I miss out the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open."
Books
"If the weather is good I go into the nearby wood - there I am painting a small beech forest (in the sun) with a few conifers mixed in. This takes until 8 'o clock."
Painting
"After tea it's back to painting - a large poplar at dusk with a gathering storm. From time to time instead of this evening painting session I go bowling in one of the neighbouring villages, but not very often."
Time
"On my first days here I did not start work immediately but, as planned, I took it easy for a few days - flicked through books, studied Japanese art a little."
Art
"Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art."
