Under This Fine Rain I Breathe In

All My Life I Have Worked To Be Able To Earn My Living, But I Thought That One Could Do Good Painting Without Attracting Attention To One's Private Life. Certainly, An Artist Wishes To Raise Himself Intellectually As Much As Possible, But The Man Must Remain Obscure. The Pleasure Must Be Found In The Work.

It Took Me 40 Years To Find Out That Painting Is Not Sculpture.

I'll Always Be Grateful To The Public Of Intelligent Amateurs.

I Advance All Of My Canvas At One Time.

To Achieve Progress Nature Alone Counts, And The Eye Is Trained Through Contact With Her. It Becomes Concentric By Looking And Working.
