What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?
E. M. Forster
You will see - in the future, I will live by my watercolors
Winslow Homer
The purpose of the painter is simply to reproduce in other minds the impression which a scene has made upon him.
A work of art does not appeal to the intellect. It does not appeal to the moral sense.
Its aim is not to instruct, not to edify, but to awaken an emotion.
George Inness
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
