Art must be an expression of love or it is nothing.

Can my words distill for you a little sweetness, tender and caressing?

When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it

Art must be an expression of love or it is nothing.

What counts is art. painting, a kind of painting that is quite different from what everyone makes it out to be. But what kind? Will God or someone else give me the strength to breathe the breath of prayer and mourning into my paintings, the breath of prayer for redemption and resurrection?

You could wonder for hours what flowers mean, but for me, they're life itself, in all its happy brilliance. We couldn't do with out flowers. Flowers help you forget life's tragedies.

Art is foremost a state of mind, and only secondarily a problem of form.
