There's nobody living who couldn't stand all afternoon in front of a waterfall .... Anyone who can sit on a stone in a field awhile can see my painting. Nature is like parting a curtain, you go into it .... as you would cross an empty beach to look at the ocean.

Fulfill your potential. That's the way to happiness.

Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.

The worst thing you can think about when you're working is yourself.

I paint with my back to the world

Doing what you were born to do … That's the way to be happy.

When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection.
