I should paint my own places best.
Painting is but another word for feeling.
The sound of water escaping from mill-dams, etc., willows, old rotten planks,
slimy posts, and brickwork ... those scenes made me a painter and I am grateful.
There is nothing ugly; I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an
object be what it may, - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
