No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.

Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.

I build a kind of wall between myself and t he model so that I can paint in peace behind it. Otherwise, she might say something that confuses and distracts me.
