The only real influence I've ever had was myself.

I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it.

Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again become great.

In its most limited sense, modern, art would seem to concern itself only with the technical innovations of the period.

No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination.

There will be, I think, an attempt to grasp again the surprise and accidents of nature and a more intimate and sympathetic study of its moods, together with a renewed wonder and humility on the part of such as are still capable of these basic reactions.

What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.
