A flower touches everyone's heart.

Art is a wicked thing. It is what we are.

The clean clear colours were in my head. But one day as I looked at the brown burned wood of the Shanty, I thought 'I can paint one of those dismal-coloured paintings like the men. I think just for fun I will try - all low-toned and dreary with the tree besides the door.' In my next show, 'The Shanty' went up. The men seemed to approve of it. They seemed to think that maybe I was beginning to paint. That was my only low-toned dismal-coloured painting.

You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare.

The morning is the best time, there are no people around. My pleasant disposition likes the world with nobody in it.

The meaning of a word - to me - is not as exact as the meaning of a color. Colors and shapes make a more definite statement than words.

I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.
