There is no must in art because art is free. ~Wassily Kandinsky~

Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No. Just as one can never learn how to paint
~ Pablo Picasso~

Drawing is . . . not an exercise of particular dexterity, but above all a means of expressing intimate feelings and moods.
~Henri Matisse~

I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say 'he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.
~Vincent Van Gogh~

A line is a dot that went for a walk ~Paul Klee~

"To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour" ~William Blake~
