Brushes

The song of the brush.
- Chinese saying

Swing a bigger brush – you don't know what you're missing.
—Charles Hawthorne

“Poetry is the impish attempt to paint the color of the wind.”

—Maxwell Bodenheim

“The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”

—Marcus Aurelius

“Ecstasy is from the contemplation of things vaster than the individual and imperfectly seen perhaps, by all those that still live.”

— William Butler Yeats

“Blue color is everlastingly appointed by the Deity to be a source of delight”

— John Ruskin

A canvas is never empty.
—Robert Rauschenberg

A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.
—Gertrude Stein

I received the two brushes as a gift—
They are way beyond my ability—but beautiful to contemplate.

“…If you aim to dispense with method, learn method”
“…If you aim at facility, work hard”
“…If you aim for simplicity, master complexity”

— Lu Ch'ai (Wang Kai), 17th century Master of Ch'ing Tsai T'ang, (Chinese brush painting)
