I'm working on a snow scene right now, and it's summer. It's hot, and I will get chilly. I'll have to turn on the heat. My wife walks in, and it's 95 degrees in the studio. I know it's nutty, but it's a projection you have where you step into the painting.

The most important key to a more romantic life: you have to be willing to pay attention

I try to embrace people with love, unconditional love, like Christ did.

Beauty is found in anything that delights the senses, nourishes the soul, fires the imagination.

Our most important legacy will be the contributions we make to the lives of other human beings.

We all have romantic nature of one kind or another buried somewhere in our hearts.

The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting.
