I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

Life is what you make it.

I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.

Even now / I am not old. / I never think of it, and yet / I am a grandmother to eleven grandchildren.

I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.

If you know somethin' well, you can always paint it but people would be better off buyin' chickens.
