It is really so nice here-country-busy-busy with so many different kinds of things-... I must say I feel far away in another world here-... always we go to a new place...the people have a kind of gentleness that isn't usual on the mainland.

God told me if I painted that mountain enough, I could have it.

I do not like the idea of happiness - it is too momentary - I would say that I was always busy and interested in something - interest has more meaning to me than the idea of happiness.

It was all so far away - there was quiet and an untouched feel to the country and I could work as I pleased.

Happiness goes like the wind, but what is interesting stays.

I had to create an equivalent for what I felt about what I was looking at - not copy it.
