Stay firmly in your path and dare; be wild two hours a day!

Beautiful colors exist, though we do not realize it, and are glimpsed behind the veil that modesty has drawn over them.

A hint - don't paint too much direct from nature. Art is an abstraction! study nature then brood on it and treasure the creation which will result, which is the only way to ascend towards God - to create like our Divine Master.

Do not copy nature. Art is an abstraction. Rather, bring your art forth by dreaming in front of her and think more of creation.

When the physical organism breaks up, the soul survives. It then takes on another body.

Machines have come, art has fled, and I am far from thinking photography can help us.
