If a man knows nothing but hard times, he will paint them, for he must be true to himself.
Pictures just come to my mind and I tell my heart to go ahead.
My opinion of art is that a man should have love for it, because my idea is that he paints from his heart and mind.
The pictures come to me in my mind, and if to me it is a worthwhile picture I paint it I do over the picture several times in my mind and when I am ready to paint it I have all the details I need.
The war brought out all the art in me.
