He worked from memory with color, illuminating all his subject matter to the point of abstraction. From the colors of the heart, go with the passion that moves you; that is what moves your subject. Select ideas or things from your past and juxtapose them with something important to you now, play with them in the same composition, with colors from not what it looks like, but how it feels. Use colors that embody the experience. Create a visual poem of light and color. Let your colors tell the story versus the forms.
