Don't Talk Of What You Are 'going

Painting Is The Only Universal Language. All Nature Is Creation's Picture Book. Painting Alone Can Describe Every Thing Which Can Be Seen, And Suggest Every Emotion Which Can Be Felt. Art Reaches Back Into The Babyhood Of Time, And Is Man's Only Lasting Monument.

Elaboration Is Not Beauty, And Sand-paper Never Finished A Piece Of Bad Work.

Art Teaches You The Philosophy Of Life, And If You Can't Learn It From Art, You Can't Learn It At All. It Shows You That There Is No Perfection. There Is Light, And There Is Shadow. Everything Is In Half Tint.

Inspiration Is Nothing Without Work.

I Don't Like Persuaded Sitters. I Never Could Paint A Cat If The Cat Had Any Scruples, Religious, Superstitious, Or Otherwise, About Sitting.
