Today is one of those days where being in my studio is like finding out who i am again; cleansing of my soul; acknowledgment of one of the things that brings me peace.

"The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting." ~Vincent Van Gogh

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."
~ Henry Ward Beecher

"A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art."
~ Paul Cézanne

"If you hear a voice within you saying, 'You are not a painter,' then by all means paint... and that voice will be silenced."
~Vincent Van Gogh
