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

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.

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

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

There are never any rules, rights, or wrongs in imagining--- imagining just is.

I had a desire to see something besides my own shores, if only to be content to return to them someday. If I wish to live in my native land and love her, it should not be out of ignorance.

Love gives without expectation, while hate carries an endless tally of debts.

I have an education degree from the University of Minnesota, and I was a teacher for about a minute.

I was happy working for £6 an hour.

Sleep is for those who are broke

The flaw is the thing we love.

We support the auto-enrolment but we have our doubts about the way the National Pension Scheme is going to be structured.

Carried by light, images remain while sensation is so evanescent as to be always beyond belief.

There are things that are too terrible to remember, and there are things that are almost too wonderful to recall.
