Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere. Carl Sagan |
 |
Picasso once said that it took him four years
to paint like Raphael, but it took him a lifetime to paint like a child.
To see
things in their original beauty, we must crack the shell of preconceptions with
which adults are saddled.
Zen has little to do with ideas, and its masters
consistently point to the concrete.
We are surrounded by magic.
We literally
have to go nowhere.
John Greer

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do. ~Edgar Degas It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work. ~Henry Moore An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them. ~Andy Warhol The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do? ~Pablo Picasso Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. ~Pablo Picasso A man paints with his brains and not with his hands. ~Michelangelo Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. ~Leonardo da Vinci I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things. ~Henri Matisse The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. ~Aristotle The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. ~Paul Strand music+image |

The Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos in Spanish) is a holiday celebrated mainly in Mexico and by people of Mexican heritage (and others) living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and relatives who have died. The celebration occurs on the 1st and 2nd of November, in connection with the Catholic holy days of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day which take place on those days. Traditions include building private altars honoring the deceased, using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts. Observance of the holiday in Mexican-American communities in the United States has become more important and widespread as the community grows numerically and economically. [Wiki.]
