What molting time is to birds, so adversity or misfortune is ... for us humans.

Van Gogh was so under appreciated in his time, he sold only one of his 900 paintings while alive. Posthumously, he became one of the most famous artists of all time and his work is now considered priceless. Oh the irony.

... life is too short to do the whole.

I use color in a completely arbitrary way in order to express myself powerfully.

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.

And painted portraits have a life of their own that comes from deep in the soul of the painter and where the machine can't go.

To paint nature you must be in it a long time.
