It Does Not Astonish Me

Work At The Same Time On Sky, Water, Branches, Ground, Keeping Everything Going On An Equal Basis... Don't Be Afraid Of Putting On Colour... Paint Generously And Unhesitatingly, For It Is Best Not To Lose The First Impression.

We Are All The Subjects Of Impressions, And Some Of Use Seek To Convey The Impressions To Others. In The Art Of Communicating Impressions Lies The Power Of Generalizing Without Losing That Logical Connection Of Parts To The Whole Which Satisfies The Mind.

I Sometimes Have A Horrible Fear Of Turning Up A Canvas Of Mine. I'm Always Afraid Of Finding A Monster In Place Of The Precious Jewels I Thought I Had Put There!

Cover The Canvas At The First Go, Then Work At It Until You See Nothing More To Add.

I Began To Understand My Sensations, To Know What I Wanted, At Around The Age Of Forty - But Only Vaguely.
