quote from Jackson Pollack
PAINTING IS SELF DISCOVERY.  EVERY GOOD ARTIST PAINTS WHAT HE IS.  (OR SHE)

QUOTE  from Pablo Picasso

   ART washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

I love this quote.

THIRST QUENCHED
HOMAGE TO A DOE
1/2020
studio
years ago while deer
 hunting I watched a
little doe come towards
me in a stand of hardwoods
with her head down.  I
stopped & she came right
up to me.  I could have
patted her but she didn't
seem to know I was there.
she must have been sick.
I never forgot her.
