Be careful that you do not write or paint anything that is not your own, that you don't know in your own soul.

The spirit must be felt so intensely that it has power to call others in passing, for it must pass, not stop in the pictures.

Go out there into the glory of the woods. See God in every particle of them expressing glory and strength and power, tenderness and protection. Know that they are God expressing God made manifest.
