I can't think of anything more rewarding than being able to express yourself to others through painting. Exercising the imagination, experimenting with talents, being creative; these things, to me, are truly the windows to your soul.

I don't know if anything in nature ever grows exactly the same, but they are always exactly as the way it should be, perfectly itself.

Within one hour of touching the brush to canvas for the first time, my students have a total, complete painting.

I have to paint fast on television because of the limited time, but I don't want people to see what I'm showing them as work, something to worry and fret over. This is supposed to be fun.

I guess I’m a little weird. I like to talk to trees and animals. That’s okay though; I have more fun than most people.

Most painters want recognition, especially by their peers.

I started painting as a hobby when I was little. I didn't know I had any talent. I believe talent is just a pursued interest. Anybody can do what I do.
