My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.

It is not about painting life, it is about making painting alive.

The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution.

When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.

For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.

Nature is more depth than surface, the colours are the expressions on the surface of this depth; they rise up from the roots of the world.

Right now a moment of time is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate...Give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time.
