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

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

I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions.

I think that zinc white has a property of scaling and cracking.

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.

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