I once gave a doctor 4 sketches as payment for treatment. He didn't think much of the sketches and put them in the cellar.

You work with your mind not with your hands
It's thunder that scares the hell out of you, but it's the lightning that kills
I hate authority being imposed on me
I have self-doubts , but I am grateful for Dr. MacCallum's unwavering faith in my work.
If you try to paint every twig the sketch becomes tight and photographic - uninteresting.
I never married.

If you are to remain true as an artist, you need to remain true to the art you first learned as a craftsmen.

Jim MacDonald has been branded the most radical artist in Toronto. Nobody wants to buy his art now.
It's hard to be a radical when you have a family to support. Better to be single and alone.
Sometimes I paint as if my life depended upon it. Sometimes I fail.
The only way to be economical is to keep going with what you have.
Lismer once remarked, 'Toronto is a good place - to get out of!'
My father thought his boys owed him a living and forced us to stay on the farm until 21.
