The real artist's work is a surprise to himself.

To paint is to know how to put nothing on canvas, and have it look like something when you stand back.

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.

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.

Do not expect pictures to say the expected; some of the best will have surprises for you, which will, at first, shock you.

In a tree there is a spirit of life, a spirit of growth and a spirit of holding its head up.

Self-acquainta nce is a rare condition.
