Let us see how high we can fly before the sun melts the wax in our wings.

"Anything we don't like, we'll turn it into a happy little tree [or elephant:] or something; we don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents."
Bob Ross
A small accident lead to a 'salvaged' painting, said @lgvd . And look how beautiful it is.. :)
We can learn so much from dogs. About living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy (see John Grogan's "Marley & Me"), seizing the moment, appreciating the simple things like a walk in the park...

Although humans see reality in colour, for me, black and white has always been connected to the image's deeper truth, to its most hidden meaning.

It has happened again, the green...
I had forgotten it would happen again.
My heart leaps.
Light flows down and blankets the green
with green as if the light is green,
filled with green sparks.
Even the silence is green.

Already my gaze is upon the hill, the sunny one,
at the end of the path which I've only just begun.
So we are grasped, by that which we could not grasp,
at such great distance, so fully manifest *
R.M. Rilke
🎨 @lgvd - on a scrap piece of Fabriano Artistico
There is no art without a poetic aim. There is a species of emotion particular to painting, an effect that results from a certain arrangement of colors, of light, of shadow. It is this that one calls the music of painting.*

No one can explain how the artist can waken to life in us what he has seen and lived through. No words can adequately express that. The vital force of his art comes from what is unspoken in it.
