The worst thing you can think about when you're working is yourself.
To progress in life you must give up the things you do not like. Give up doing the things that you do not like to do. You must find the things that you do like. The things that are acceptable to your mind.
That which takes us by surprise-moments of happiness-that is inspiration.
I paint with my back to the world
Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye, it is in the mind.
Anything can be painted without representation.
