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

Someone has asked me to paint Biblical pictures, and I say no, I'll not paint something that we know nothing about, might just as well paint something that will happen two thousand years hence.

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.

A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.

I like to paint something that leads me on and on into the unknown, something that I want to see away on beyond.

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