Painting`s not important. The important thing is keeping busy.
I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.
If I hadn`t started painting, I would have raised chickens.
I look back on my life a good day`s work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.
A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.
Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.
I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.
