In A Tree There Is A Spirit

It Is Harder To See Than It Is To Express. The Whole Value Of Art Rests In The Artist's Ability To See Well Into What Is Before Him.

Beauty Is An Intangible Thing; Can Not Be Fixed On The Surface, And The Wear And Tear Of Old Age On The Body Cannot Defeat It. Nor Will A "pretty" Face Make It, For "pretty" Faces Are Often Dull And Empty, And Beauty Is Never Dull And It Fills All Spaces.

A Picture Should Be The Expression Of The Will Of The Painter.

By My Teaching I Hope To Inspire You To Personal Activity And To Present Your Vision.

In A Tree There Is A Spirit Of Life, A Spirit Of Growth And A Spirit Of Holding Its Head Up.
