Those of us who know something about the art of painting know that working on a canvas, very often a lot of serendipitous things happen that work to the advantage of the painter ultimately.

All professionals should teach at some time in their career because they are obliged to pass on what they have learned.

As for me, I am in pursuit of excellence. I have no time to get old.

You can’t talk about heartbreak to a kid.
