Many painters are afraid of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the truly passionate painter who dares-and who has once broken the spell of 'you can't.'

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.

If one has such an encounter it is to be expected it will bring him into conflict, especially conflict with himself, because one sometimes literally does not know what to do or what not to do. But is this struggle and even the mistakes one may make, not better, and do they not develop us more than if we keep systematically away from emotions?

I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing.

I will not live without love.

A woman is not old as long as she loves and is loved

The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else, but keep heart, it will turn out all right.
