If your inner voice is telling you that you can't paint, by all means, hurry up and paint and silence the voice.

And in a picture I want to say something comforting, as music is comforting.

How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.

In my view, I am often immensely rich, not in money, but (although just now perhaps not all the time) rich because I have found my metier, something I can devote myself to heart and soul and that gives inspiration and meaning to my life.

I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.

Try to walk as much as you can, and keep your love for nature, for that is the true way to learn to understand art more and more. Painters understand nature and love her and teach us to see her. If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere.

I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.
