“I see my paintings as living creatures with shapes, problems and solutions that I address within a candid dialogue, 
stemming from pure spontaneity*, entering a space of concentration, rhythm, physical gesturing, and an understanding of where a work wants to go.”
— Ritchard Rodriguez

*“…spontaneity is, after all, total sincerity — the whole being involved in the act without the slightest reservation…”
— Alan W. Watts
