Simplicity

One eye sees, the other feels. ~Paul Klee

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity. ~Walt Whitman

Observations in the Grass

My fascination with letting images repeat

and repeat - or in film's case 'run on' - 

manifests my belief that we spend much of

our lives seeing without observing. ~Andy Warhol

Many an object is not seen, though it falls within the range of our visual ray, because it does not come within the range of our intellectual ray, i.e. we are not looking for it. So, in the largest sense, we find only the world we look for. ~Henry David Thoreau

Nature's Summer Pinstripes

There is nothing I like better at the end of a hot summer's day than taking a short walk around the garden. You can smell the heat coming up from the earth to meet the cooler night air. ~Peter Mayle

One touch of nature makes 

the whole world kin. ~William Shakespeare

Light Revealed

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures. ~James Thurber

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Painted Pink

I dream of painting 

and then I paint my dream. ~Vincent Van Gogh

All gardening is landscape painting. ~William Kent

Passion In The Garden

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion. ~George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Better pass boldly into that other world, in

the full glory of some passion, than fade and

wither dismally with age. ~James Joyce

Looking Through The Garden

One lifetime is never enough to accomplish

one's horticultural goals. If a garden is a site

for the imagination, how can we be very far

from the beginning? ~Francis Cabot Lowell

I am writing in the garden. To write as one

should of a garden one must write not

outside it or merely somewhere near it, but

in the garden. ~Frances Hodgson Burnett
