I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad.

Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.

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

With watercolour, you can pick up the atmosphere, the temperature, the sound of snow shifting through the trees or over the ice of a small pond or against a windowpane. Watercolour perfectly expresses the free side of my nature.

I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there.

I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.

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