All is lovely outside my house and inside my house and myself.
I regret very much that I have painted a picture that requires any description.
Artists should never look at pictures, but should stutter in a language of their own.
The Sun will not rise or set without my notice and thanks.
Look at nature, work independently, and solve your own problems.
When you paint, try to put down exactly what you see. Whatever else you have to offer will come out anyway.
What’s the use? The people are too stupid. They do not understand.
If a man wants to be an artist, he should never look at pictures.
You will see, in the future I will live by my watercolors.
The most interesting part of my life is of no concern to the public.
You have the sky overhead giving one light; then the reflected light from whatever reflects; then the direct light of the sun; so that, in the blending and suffusing of these several luminations, there is no such thing as a line to be seen anywhere.
The life that I have chosen gives me my full hours of enjoyment for the balance of my life. The sun will not rise, or set, without my notice, and thanks.
I prefer every time a picture composed and painted outdoors. The thing is done without your knowing it.
I will paint for money any time.
The life that I have chosen gives me my full hours of enjoyment.
I thought for a change I would give up drinking, and it was a great mistake, and, although I reduced the size of my nose and improved my beauty, my stomach suffered.
Only think of my being alive with a reputation!
Never put more than two waves in a picture; it’s fussy.
Oh what a friend chance can be – when it chooses.
It is wonderful how much depends upon the relations of black and white A black and white, if properly balanced, suggests colour.
