“If you know somethin' well, you can always paint it but people would be better off buyin' chickens.”

“A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.”

“I look back on my life like a good day's work it is done and I am satisfied with it.”

“I paint from the top down. First the sky then the mountains then the hills then the houses then the cattle and then the people.”

“Life is what we make it always has been always will be.”

“I look back on my life like a good day's work it is done and I am satisfied with it.”

“If I didn't start painting I would have raised chickens.”
