real art is religion, a search for the beauty of God deep in all things.

Art is art, nature is nature, you cannot improve upon it.... Pictures should be inspired by nature, but made in the soul of the artist. It is the soul of the individual that counts.

There was neither horizon, cloud, nor sound; of that pink, spread silence even I had become part, belonging as much to sky as to earth.

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.

You always feel when you look it straight in the eye that you could have put more into it, could have let yourself go and dug harder.

Inspiration is intention obeyed.

Art being so much greater than ourselves, it will not give up once it has taken hold.
