“Painting's not important. The important thing is keeping busy.”

“Grandma Moses at Galerie St. Etienne in New York”

“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.”

“I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.”

“If I hadn't started painting, I would have raised chickens.”

“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.”
