Would that we could at once paint with the eyes! In the long way from the eye through the arm to the pencil, how much is lost!

I paint what I see, not what a camera would see.

What I wish to show when I paint is the way I see things with my eyes and in my heart.

I think if you have an eye and the ability and the confidence as a designer, you can turn your hand to anything.

We would sift through every inch of what it was that worked, or if it didn't, and wonder what was effective in it, in terms of paint, the subject matter, the size, the drawing.

We lived in my father's studio, so there were the brushes and the pencils and the paint. So it would - it was very natural for me to want to paint, I think, and it was never a question.

I don't think it's possible to touch people's imagination today by aesthetic means.

I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true.
