If A Picture Wasn't Going Very Well,

I'm The Oldest Antique In Town.

My Best Efforts Were Some Modern Things That Looked Like Very Lousy Matisses. Thank God I Had The Sense To Realize They Were Lousy, And Leave Paris.

Some Folks Think I Painted Lincoln From Life, But I Haven't Been Around That Long. Not Quite.

I Just Wanted To Do Something Important.

I'll Never Have Enough Time To Paint All The Pictures I'd Like To.
