I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.
From Georgia O'Keeffe
It was all so far away - there was quiet and an untouched feel to the country and I could work as I pleased.
Anyone who doesn't feel the crosses simply doesn't get that country.
I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down.
You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare.
It was in the 1920s, when nobody had time to reflect, that I saw a still-life painting with a flower that was perfectly exquisite, but so small you really could not appreciate it.
The days you work are the best days.
I often lay on that bench looking up into the tree, past the trunk and up into the branches. It was particularly fine at night with the stars above the tree.
I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught.
To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.
