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.

All outward success, when it has value, is but the inevitable result of an inward success of full living, full play and enjoyment of one's faculties.

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

An artist's job is to surprise himself. Use all means possible.

The object, which is back of every true work of art, is the attainment of a state of being, a state of high functioning, a more than ordinary moment of existence. In such moments activity is inevitable, and whether this activity is with brush, pen, chisel, or tongue, its result is but a by-product of the state, a trace, the footprint of the state.

All manifestations of art are but landmarks in the progress of the human spirit toward a thing but as yet sensed and far from being possessed.
