My drawings at first were made altogether in watercolors, but they wanted softness and a great deal of finish.

Over the years I always did some water colors, and I did a series of pictures of drawings. I always did it during a period of time that was slow in the photo business, but in essence it was always frustrating because I'd get started, and then it would be time to get back to work and I wouldn't get anywhere with the painting.

When I'm writing, I am concentrating almost wholly on concrete detail: the color a room is painted, the way a drop of water rolls off a wet leaf after a rain.

The artist must ask you to think of the world in a different way, and sometimes it's a more abstract way; sometimes it's a completely different kind of colouring.

In art, there is no need for color; I see only light and shade. Give me a crayon, and I will paint your portrait.

Paintings are like a beer, only beer tastes good and it's hard to stop drinking beer.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.
