If I hadn't started painting, I would have raised chickens. - Grandma Moses

People always say that it's too late. However, in fact, now is the best appropriate time. For a man who really wants to seek for something, every period of life is younger and timely.

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.

I'll get an inspiration and start painting; then I'll forget everything, everything except how things used to be and how to paint it so people will know how we used to live.
