How many days have I spent alone with my cat... and when I say alone, I mean without a material being, for my cat is a mystical companion, a spirit.

The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible.

I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art.

Work on the accent, it will enliven the whole.

It is still color, it is not yet light.

Art will never be able to exist without nature.

One does not always sing out of happiness.
