Starving Artist.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
-Pablo Picasso
Water. Think about the mysterious magical nature of this liquid energy that we take for granted. Try to squeeze it, and it eludes us; relax our hands into it, and we experience it readily. If it stays stationary, it will become stagnant; if it is allowed to flow, it will stay pure. It does not seek the high spots to be above it all, but settles for the lowest places. It gathers into rivers, lakes, and streams; courses to the sea; and then evaporates to fall again as rain. It maps out nothing and it plays no favorites: It doesn’t intend to provide sustenance to the animals and plants. It has no plans to irrigate the fields; to slake our thirst; or to provide the opportunity to swim, sail, ski, and scuba dive. These are some of the benefits that come naturally from water simply doing what it does and being what it is. -Wayne Dyer
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” -Helen Keller

(in her psychiatric booth, consoling Charlie Brown after accidentally re-hooking Linus on security blankets after he kicked his habit on his own): In all of mankind’s history, there has never been more damage done than by people who “thought they were doing the right thing.”
Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world. ~Edward Hopper
