"I think one's art goes only as far and as deep as one's love goes."

- Andrew Wyeth

"Pencil Study for the painting 'Trailblazer'.
How do I paint more than Michael in the woods? I want somehow to paint it so that he stands for all of us- because all of us are living on a frontier- vast and unexplored- our own future.

"The more I think it over the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people."

- Vincent Van Gogh

"I was sketching the cows when suddenly the milk house door opened. Ed dumped ice cold water into the trough, then trudged through the snow back to the warmth of the farmhouse. "

"Margaret is everyone's Grandma at our church. She radiates love. Her body is losing it's fight against time, but there is beauty that the slick fashion magazines know nothing of. Grandma Margaret is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met."
