"In landscape painting, I try to give a feeling of the season in which the painting is done and also of the weather at the time of painting, so that when people look at the finished picture, they will get the same feeling I had when I painted it. Just painting a landscape as you see it is not enough, you must paint your interpretation of what you see, it must be a personal expression. It is only rarely that Nature's arrangements will do without some change in the composition; the main thing is to get a good painting, well composed."
