Color Your World

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up. ~Allen Klein




Colors, like features, follow the changes 
of the emotions. ~Pablo Picasso

Angles & Views

Good art is art that allows you to enter it
from a variety of angles and to emerge 
with a variety of views. ~Mary Schmich

Dancing in the Sun

But let there be spaces in your togetherness
and let the winds of the heavens dance
between you. Love one another but make not
a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls. ~Khalil Gibran


His heart was like a sensitive plant, that opens for 
a moment in the sunshine, but curls up and shrinks into itself at the slightest touch of the finger, 
or the slightest breath of wind. ~Anne Bronte

Graceful Art

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your Creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down 
from upon high, but by doing what you can
to make grace happen... yourself, right now,
right down here on Earth. ~Bradley Whitford


Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. ~Andre Gide

Art of Discussion

An artist cannot speak about his art any more 
than a plant can discuss horticulture. ~Jean Cocteau


Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding. ~Gian Carlo Menotti
