The sketch hunter moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook.

Find out what you really like if you can. Find out what is really important to you. Then sing your song. You will have something to sing about and your whole heart will be in the singing.

Your style is the way you talk in paint.

Painting should never look as if it were done with difficulty, however difficult it may actually have been.

The most vital things in the look of a landscape endure only for a moment. Work should be done from memory; memory of that vital moment.

All is as beautiful as we think it.

Art when really understood is the province of every human being. It is simply a question of doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside, extra thing.
