I will be on hiatus at this time. You're welcome to contact me for questions & concerns, and I'll respond as soon as I can!
"Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more. Love many things, for there in lies the true strength, and whoever lovers much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well. It's not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to... The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures. I put my heart and soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process. I wish they would only take me as I am. In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing."
- Vincent Van Gogh
