Courtney's Oil Paintings
"There tends to be some natural phenomena which causes us to remember the storms more readily than the calms whether we contemplate the past at sea or ashore. We want to be happy but have little tolerance for it in reality. If something doesn't change we become extremely bored. We view the future in terms of the past which can indeed be frightening. There really is no time but now and never will be. There never was."

- William Courtney Watson
