Favorite saying

• "‎"Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul." Vincent van Gogh Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it. Claude Monet “Shall I tell you what I think are the two qualities of a work of art? First, it must be the indescribable, and second, it must be inimitable.” ~ Pierre-Auguste Renoir "Really, there is no beautiful style, no beautiful design, and no beautiful color: there is just one beauty, that of the truth that is revealed." Auguste Rodin "Painting is poetry which is seen and not heard, and poetry is a painting which is heard but not seen." Leonardo Da Vinci The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire, and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation." Auguste Rodin"
