"Painters are engaged not just in covering a surface with paint, but also in the act of expressing emotion or content that is not sayable in words. ...Everyone who has a success story has found a way to make art that is deeply meaningful to them. That, in turn, affects and moves other people."

"Atmosphere is an incredibly important element when taking on the job of painting landscapes. Atmosphere is not just the way the sky looks, but the way the surroundings appear. The sky is the vehicle for weather, and the weather affects everything it touches."
