Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.

I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art.

You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.

I dont like compliments. I prefer criticism..then I can prove those people wrong.
