"I think of a sparkling effect with watercolor; tonal qualities with oils; black, white and gray to express an abbreviated form, or the subject of the essential structure. In all these things—painting, drawing, and prints—I have tried to get the essential character of the subject I was doing. I believe that an expression of that is vital—to try to see in the thing itself the mood and the impression that it gives. This I have tried to paint. To me art is an expression of the sense of the thing rather than a reproduction of it."
