I can't paint the way they want me to paint and they know that too.

A painting is not made to be sniffed.

Of course you will say that I ought to be practical and ought to try and paint the way they want me to paint. Well, I will tell you a secret. I have tried and I have tried very hard, but I can't do it. I just can't do it! And that is why I am just a little crazy.

Practice what you know, and it will help to make clear what now you do not know.

A painting is finished when the artist says it is finished.

Try to put well in practice what you already know; and in so doing, you will in good time, discover the hidden things you now inquire about. Practice what you know, and it will help to make clear what now you do not know.
