What we need is more sense of the wonder of life and less of this business of making a picture.

Paint what you feel. Paint what you see. Paint what is real to you.

Those who cannot begin do not finish.

A weak background is a deadly thing.

Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.

A tree growing out of the ground is as wonderful today as it ever was. It does not need to adopt new and startling methods.

There is weakness in pretending to know more than you know or in stating less than you know.
