True relaxation, which would do me the world of good, does not exist for me.

I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true.

Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is significant - they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want.

There is no self-portrait of me.

Art is a line around your thoughts.

After tea it's back to painting - a large poplar at dusk with a gathering storm. From time to time instead of this evening painting session I go bowling in one of the neighbouring villages, but not very often.

Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art.
