A Poet's Quote: "The essential joy of color, so apparent in Nature~illuminates, echoed in paint~deepens. The soul's song~the gift, this spectrum, This Rainbow, of Life". Susan Slapin
A Quote by Richard Diebenkorn: "In a successful painting everything is integral...all the parts belong to the whole. If you are removing an aspect or element, you are removing it's wholeness."
