Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.

I find linseed oil and white lead the most satisfactory mediums.

If the picture needs varnishing later, I allow a restorer to do that, if there's any restoring necessary.

I find in working always the disturbing intrusion of elements not a part of my most interested vision, and the inevitable obliteration and replacement of this vision by the work itself as it proceeds.

Well, I have a very simple method of painting.

I guess I'm not very human. All I really want to do is paint light on the side of a house.

If I had the energy, I would have done it all over the county.
