I Abstract Willow Trees
They are beautiful in their peace, they are wise
in their silence. They will stand after we are dust. They teach us, and we
tend them. (Galeain ip Altiem MacDunelmor)
Keep a
green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come. (Chinese
proverb)
II Abstract Banana Trees
The reward for conformity was that everyone
liked you except yourself. (Rita Mae Brown)
Once
bitten by the demon of painting, I never wanted to give it up.
(Henri Matisse)
III Assorted Abstract Trees
Trees
are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
(Rabindranath Tagore)
Bamboo Study
Bamboo
Studies
If a man does not keep pace with his
companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him
step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. (Henry
David Thoreau)
IV The Four Seasons
It is not
the language of painters but the language
of nature which one should listen to, the feeling
for the things themselves, for reality, is more
important than the feeling for pictures.
(Vincent van Gogh)
Abstract Autumn Scene
Four
Seasons
Lots of people will protest that it's quite unreal and
that I'm out of my mind, but that's just too bad… (Claude Monet)
V By the
Light of the Moon
Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anyone.
Many have forgotten this truth, but you must not forget it. (Mark Twain)
Night
of the Chinese Red Moon
Midnight Red Moon
The harvest moon has no innocence, like the slim
quarter moon of a spring twilight, nor has it the silver penny brilliance of
the moon that looks down upon the resorts of summer time. Wise, ripe, and
portly, like an old Bacchus,
it waxes night after night. (D
onald Culross
Peattie)
