"Painting and writing cannot be supplemented by talking. There is intensity about writing and painting that the best conversation lacks. I keep a pad and pencil in every pocket or bag and create the habit of recording passing thoughts or sketches which is the only time to record them, for when they are once passed you cannot conjure them back. To do nothing but paint for oneself, paint the truth regardless of the consequences. One of almost unlimited energy, more and more of which as time went on was expended upon my friends, my family, and my letters to them. My letters along with my work may prove in the end to be my finest work of all." (Taken from Elizabeth's scrap of paper, written around 1970's and typed cinco de Mayo, 2000)
