The First Hole Made Through A Piece

Being An Artist Is Celebrating Life.

I Have Always Been Very Interested In Landscape... I Find That All Natural Forms Are A Source Of Unending Interest - Tree Trunks, The Growth Of Branches From The Trunk, Each Finding Its Own Individual Air-space.

Because A Work Does Not Aim At Reproducing Natural Appearances It Is Not, Therefore, An Escape From Life -- But May Be A Penetration Into Reality...as Expression Of The Significance Of Life, A Stimulation To Greater Effort In Living.

Art Is Not To Do With The Practical Side Of Making A Living. It's To Live A Fuller Human Life.

The Creative Habit Is Like A Drug. The Particular Obsession Changes, But The Excitement, The Thrill Of Your Creation Lasts.
