I Owe You The Truth In Painting,

A Work Of Art Which Did Not Begin In Emotion Is Not Art.

I Wished To Copy Nature. I Could Not. But I Was Satisfied When I Discovered The Sun, For Instance, Could Not Be Reproduced, But Only Represented By Something Else.

Tell Me, Do You Think I'm Going Mad? I Sometimes Wonder, You Know.

Right Now A Moment Of Time Is Fleeting By! Capture Its Reality In Paint! To Do That We Must Put All Else Out Of Our Minds. We Must Become That Moment, Make Ourselves A Sensitive Recording Plate...give The Image Of What We Actually See, Forgetting Everything That Has Been Seen Before Our Time.

Light Is A Thing That Cannot Be Reproduced, But Must Be Represented By Something Else - By Color.
