Notable Quotes

Once again I let life get in the way of posting updates and information here. I did spring cleaning and reorganization of the studio for a wine tasting a friend ran. It is good have a clean space to start messing up. This month has also been busy working out of the studio in my other field, so starts are plentiful but paintings to show are few.

Even when studio time is limited or non existent I read about or study some art daily, and I enjoy collecting quotes by or about art and artists.

- Pablo Picasso

I make pictures and someone comes in and calls it art. Willem
