"The work of art must seize upon you...carry you away."
Work lovingly done is the secret of all order and all happiness.
With a limited palette, the older painters could do just as well as today what they did was sounder.
It's with my brush that I make love.
The pain passes, but the beauty remains.
To my mind, a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful, and pretty, yes pretty! There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is without creating still more of them.
