I prefer every time a picture composed and painted outdoors. The thing is done without your knowing it.

There is no such thing as talent. What they call talent is nothing but the capacity for doing continuous work in the right way.

Look at nature, work independently, and solve your own problems.

I regret very much that I have painted a picture that requires any description.

The Sun will not rise or set without my notice and thanks.

The life that I have chosen gives me my full hours of enjoyment.

Artists should never look at pictures, but should stutter in a language of their own.

When you paint, try to put down exactly what you see. Whatever else you have to offer will come out anyway.

You will see, in the future I will live by my watercolors.

All is lovely outside my house and inside my house and myself.

Never put more than two waves in a picture; it's fussy.

When you get a pinch and decide to give up, you will get a cut when you eventually do so. The consequences of giving up are more harmful than the causes. Just don’t give up!

It is only when one is under extreme duress that one's true character is revealed.

And they always slept better with blades beneath their beds.

May you have happiness, and may you find it making one another happy.

You know some people say that you make watches or perfume bottles, it's all different things.

It's just that no one wants to be the one being rescued, we all want to do the rescuing.

My motto is: look your best, feel your best, but most of all, be your best at any age.

Dumb jewels often, in their silent kind, more than quick words, do move a woman's mind.
