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

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

The big painter is one who has something to say. He thus does not paint men, landscape or furniture, but an idea.

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

Colors are beautiful when they are significant.

There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom.

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