There is no light painting or dark painting, but simply relations of tones.

I have to keep working, not to arrive at finish, which arouses the admiration of fools... I must seek completion only for the pleasure of being truer and more knowing.

Shadow is a colour as light is, but less brilliant; light and shadow are only the relation of two tones.

Design and color are not distinct and separate. As one paints, one draws. The more the colors harmonize, the more the design takes form. When color is at it's richest, form is at its fullest.

The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.

Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured.

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.
