Hugh Ferris (1889-1962) never designed a single noteworthy building, but after his death a colleague said he ‘influenced my generation of architects’ more than any other man. See his wonderful book, "The Metropolis of Tomorrow".
The impulse to paint comes neither from observation nor from the soul (which is probably blind) but from an encounter: the encounter between painter and model:even if the model is a mountain or a shelf of empty medicine bottles.

Koukei Kojima (b. 1932) paints in the style of "Sansam", the so called landscape painting in Japan.

Oh, marble-spired Manhattan,
I look into your thousand eyes at dusk,
And your thousand eyes look back at me, kindled with lights over the harbor...
Toss your towers into the stars, Great Gray City!
~Edwin Curran (1892-?)

Meditation is not just being silent - that is only one part of it. It has to be creative. And when poetry comes out of your inner silences, or a painting, it has a flavor which is not of this world!
~Osho

The act of drawing forces the artist to look at the object in front of him, dissect it in his mind’s eye and put it together again... It forces him to dredge his own mind, to discover the content of his own store of past observations.

Watercolors by @KumawatLiam
A bridge is an interstitial space, joining two realms separated by flowing water. Yet, the bridge itself belongs to neither side. It represents a pathway between worlds and states of mind. The bridge is connection, pathway, and transformation.

Here's a painting to lift your spirits @dreamergirl2110 , by the great English artist, Joseph Mallord William Turner. Art is a bridge between cultures and- in this world full of disappointments- a constant source of joy, maybe the most reliable we have. https://t.co/zbdVzsd7As
