The days you work are the best days.

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.

I have already settled it for myself so flattery and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to.

He wanted head and hands and arms on a pillow - in many different positions. I was asked to move my hands in many different ways - also my head - and I had to turn this way and that. There were nudes that might have been of several different people - sitting - standing - even standing upon the radiator against the window - that was difficult - radiators don't intend you to stand on top of them.

If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for a moment.

I wish people were all trees and I think I could enjoy them then.
