I never use nature as a starting point. I never abstract from nature; I never consciously think of nature when I paint.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's something always instinctively visually right about nature. There's no difference, to my eye, between looking at a great painting and looking at nature. Because painting, when it's great, has the same immutable rightness, unquestioned rightness, about it.
As I grew older, I realized that it was much better to insist on the genuine forms of nature, for simplicity is the greatest adornment of art.
Nature is the most beautiful thing we have. It's better than art because it's from the creator.
Nature is infinitely creative. It is always producing the possibility of new beginnings.
I love nature.
Nature... is nothing but the inner voice of self-interest.
Nature was my kindergarten.
Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
I'm very inspired by nature - you could say Mother Nature. I look at things around me and get all kinds of inspiration daily.
I'm inspired by nature. Other artist's work is important for developing my perception.
