Put light against light - you have nothing. Put dark against dark - you have nothing. It's the contrast of light and dark that each give the other one meaning.

Everyday's a good day when you paint

Ever make mistakes in life? Let's make them birds. Yeah, they're birds now.

We don't make mistakes; we just have happy accidents.

I don't know if anything in nature ever grows exactly the same, but they are always exactly as the way it should be, perfectly itself.

We show people that anybody can paint a picture that they're proud of. It may never hang in the Smithsonian, but it will certainly be something that they'll hang in their home and be proud of. And that's what it's all about.

It's the imperfections that make something beautiful, that's what makes it different and unique from everything else.

I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the 'Mona Lisa' with a two-inch brush.

There are thousands of very, very talented artists who will never be known, even after they are dead.

If you learned how to make a cloud, your time is not wasted.

There are no mistakes, only happy accidents.

Trees cover up a multitude of sins.

I can't think of anything more rewarding than being able to express yourself to others through painting. Exercising the imagination, experimenting with talents, being creative; these things, to me, are truly the windows to your soul.
