E. J. Hughes

" One of the main reasons I paint is because I think nature is so wonderful. I want to try to get my feelings of that down on canvas, if possible. "

Thinking , Feelings , Trying

" Although not of the quality of my later work, I feel there is some quality to it [my early work] in an art sense, and probably some additional quality in a biographical sense. "

" My goal is to make all my paintings clear and realistic, even more understandable than a photograph. "

Goal , Understanding , Painting

" I feel that when I am painting, it is a form of worship. I see how wonderful nature is and how wonderful art is... and by trying to produce these works of art, I feel that I am just showing my appreciation of these creations. "

Art , Appreciation , Trying

" It is a matter mostly of having the time to spare from my finished paintings to put in on travelling and sketching out of doors. "

" I'm going to just sit down for a couple of weeks and do nothing but read who-dunnits and Art books. I feel my work is getting a bit dull and mechanical and this proposed resting should work up some enthusiasm in me. "

Art , Book

" I was doing something that the officials or art commission probably didn't consider important... I was experimenting with different kinds of realistic art, impressionism and the more decorative compositions of different forms of painting, which took away from the earlier photographic realism that I was doing. "

" As you can see, at my age - 48 - Art is still one big experiment. "

" Leonardo's Mona Lisa sure would have lost out if he had spent only 2 of the 4 or 5 years he took to complete it. It is thinking about him and Ryder, among others, that partly makes me feel so awful to send away a 'half-baked' painting. "

Thinking , Time , Years

" It feels much better to me to think that an artist is working to show his appreciation of what already has been created than creating things himself. "
