I Look Back On My

I Have Written My Life In Small Sketches, A Little Today, A Little Yesterday, As I Have Thought Of It, As I Remember All The Things From Childhood On Through The Years, Good Ones And Unpleasant Ones, That Is How They Come Out And That Is How We Have To Take Them.

I Would Never Sit Back In A Rocking Chair, Waiting For Someone To Help Me.

Someone Has Asked Me To Paint Biblical Pictures, And I Say No, I'll Not Paint Something That We Know Nothing About, Might Just As Well Paint Something That Will Happen Two Thousand Years Hence.

I'll Get An Inspiration And Start Painting; Then I'll Forget Everything, Everything Except How Things Used To Be And How To Paint It So People Will Know How We Used To Live.

I Paint From The Top Down. From The Sky, Then The Mountains, Then The Hills, Then The Houses, Then The Cattle, And Then The People.
