"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it,” she said, cupping her hand and holding it closer to her face, “it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not." ~ GEORGIA O’KEEFFE, One Hundred Flowers, (Knopf/Callaway)
"Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art." ~ Georges Braque
