I got half-a-dozen paintings from that shattered plate.

I like to convey the idea that art is important in everyday life.

I don't see why we ever think of what others think of what we do – no matter who they are. Isn't it enough just to express yourself?

I know I can not paint a flower, I can not paint the sun on the desert on a bright summer morning but maybe in terms of paint colour I can convey to you my experience of the flower or the experience that makes the flower of significance to me at that particular time.

Marks on paper are free - free speech - press - pictures all go together I suppose.

The days you work are the best days.

You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare.
