"If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint."
Reason
"I find linseed oil and white lead the most satisfactory mediums."
Oil
"Well, I have a very simple method of painting."
Painting
"The only real influence I've ever had was myself."
Influence
"I have tried to present my sensations in what is the most congenial and impressive form possible to me."
Present
"I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it."
Trust
"I believe that the great painters with their intellect as master have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions."
Emotional
"It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that's my method."
Fun
"I find in working always the disturbing intrusion of elements not a part of my most interested vision, and the inevitable obliteration and replacement of this vision by the work itself as it proceeds."
Work
"My aim in painting has always been the most exact transcription possible of my most intimate impression of nature."
