If I Hadn't Started Painting,

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 Don't Advise Any One To Take It [painting] Up As A Business Proposition, Unless They Really Have Talent... But I Will Say That I Have Did Remarkable For One Of My Years, And Experience.

A Strange Thing Is Memory, And Hope; One Looks Backward, And The Other Forward; One Is Of Today, The Other Of Tomorrow. Memory Is History Recorded In Our Brain, Memory Is A Painter, It Paints Pictures Of The Past And Of The Day.

I Look Back On My Life Like A Good Day's Work, It Was Done And I Am Satisfied With It.

I Look Out The Window Sometimes To Seek The Color Of The Shadows And The Different Greens In The Trees, But When I Get Ready To Paint I Just Close My Eyes And Imagine A Scene.
