If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.

I don't really have studios. I wander around - around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me.

I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes. I see no reason for painting but that. If I have anything to offer, it is my emotional contact with the place where I live and the people I do.

I'm not at all interested in painting the object just as it is in nature. Certainly I'm much more interested in the mood of a thing than the truth of a thing.

It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
