Image
A wife of your own stature is the greatest of all blessings.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
One should not be too difficult. An artist should not treat himself like an enemy.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
It is often we come the closest to the essence of an artist... in his or her pocket notebooks and travel sketchbooks... where written comments and personal notes provide an intimate insight into the magical mind of a working artist.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
At a distance this fine oak seems to be of ordinary size. But if I place myself under its branches, the impression changes completely: I see it as big, and even terrifying in its bigness.

The source of genius is imagination alone, the refinement of the senses that sees what others do not see, or sees them differently.
