Pretend you are dancing or singing a picture. A worker or painter should enjoy his work, else the observer will not enjoy it.

Finished persons are very common - people who are closed up, quite satisfied that there is little more to learn

Many things that come into the world are not looked into. The individual says 'My crowd doesn't run that way.' I say, don't run with crowds.

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

Whatever you feel or think your exact state at the exact moment of your brush touching the canvas is in some way registered in that stroke.

Beauty is an intangible thing; can not be fixed on the surface, and the wear and tear of old age on the body cannot defeat it. Nor will a "pretty" face make it, for "pretty" faces are often dull and empty, and beauty is never dull and it fills all spaces.

By my teaching I hope to inspire you to personal activity and to present your vision.
