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

The more simply you see, the more simply you will render. People see too much, scatteringly.

Fight with yourself when you paint, not with the model. A student is one who struggles with himself for order.

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.

A GREAT PAINTER will know a great deal about how he did it, but still he will say, “How did I do it?

Paint the flying spirit of the bird rather than its feathers.
