The more I read, the more I study, the more I paint, it all comes back to the art of SEEING. Today I want to share a few favorite quotes about seeing, and some pictures created by the people who said them.

"The greatest thing a human should ever does in this world is to see something
and tell what he saw in a plain way.
To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion--all in one."
