“Every beautiful work of art is a new creation, the result of particular circumstances in the life of the artist and the time of its production, that have never existed before and will never recur again.”
– Harold Speed

“The only way to learn to paint is by painting.”

“Every successful canvas has been painted from the point of view of a student, for a great painter is always a student.”

“An artist must educate himself, he cannot be educated, he must test things out as they apply to himself: his life is one long investigation of things and his own reaction to them.” – Robert Henri
