"The good picture--No one wonders at more than the one that created it.  Made...with an inborn instinct....in which time begets an awareness....and these periods of awareness are....The...red letter....days in the creator's life".           John Marin

"Beauty is in the eye (I AM) of the beholder".
Margaret Wolfe Hungerford    The Dutchess


One must first see and appreciate one's own true beauty to really see the beauty that abounds all around.
C. Harrison

"No man has ever done anything creatively worthwhile without the capacity to love.  No artist can create without it.  It is his whole motivation, and as such the love comes first not the artist....Man is not big enough to go it alone.  To attempt to do so he must kill love, the very thing and the only thing that can bring him to fullfillment.  By the blind determination to create, he kills creation.  Creation belongs to the warm heart with the capacity for contentment and in acknowledgment of the irrevocable laws of nature."
Louis Bouche
