Memory is a painter. Paintin's not important. The important thing is keepin' busy.

Life is what you make it.

A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.

I have written my life in small sketches, a little today, a little yesterday, as I have thought of it, as I remember all the things from childhood on through the years, good ones and unpleasant ones, that is how they come out and that is how we have to take them.

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

I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.
