Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.

Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.

I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.

The landscape becomes human, becomes a thinking, living being within me. I become one with my picture...we merge in an iridescent chaos.

Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one's sensations.

See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.

Long live the sun which gives us such beautiful color.
