The thing has already taken form in my mind before I start it. The first attempts are absolutely unbearable. I say this because I want you to know that if you see something worthwhile in what I am doing, it is not by accident but because of real direction and purpose.

The more you love, the more you suffer.

Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.

Don't lose heart if it's very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.

I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell. But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.

There is a sun, a light that for want of another word I can only call yellow, pale sulphur yellow, pale golden citron. How lovely yellow is!

I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
