Here, on the river's verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left.

I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.

Right now a moment is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate. give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time.

Right now a moment of time is passing by! We must become that moment.

I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.

You say a new era in art is preparing; you sensed it coming; continue your studies without weakening. God will do the rest.
