“You can do anything you want to do. This is your world.”

“This is your world. You’re the creator. Find freedom on this canvas.”

“Go out on a limb—that's where the fruit is.”

“You need the dark in order to show the light.”

“Trees cover up a multitude of sins.”

“Remember how free clouds are. They just float around and have a good time.”

“I can't think of anything more rewarding than being able to express yourself to others through painting.”

“Just let go - and fall like a little cloud.”

“We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents.”

“Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.”

“There's nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend.”

“The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do.”

“It's so important to do something every day that will make you happy.”

“We want happy paintings. Happy paintings. If you want sad things, watch the news.”

“Look around. Look at what we have. Beauty is everywhere—you only have to look to see it.”

“In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers.”

“All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind.”

“Any way you want it to be, that's just right.”

“Maybe in our world there lives a happy little tree over there.”

“Every day is a good day when you paint.”
