"I'm absolutely fed up with painting. I'm going to give it all up."

"I'm completely exhausted. I can't paint another stroke."

"No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition."

"I'm so frustrated. I want to scream."

"It's a trade I learned as a youth… when I was unhappy… Perhaps flowers are the reason why I am an artist."
