I'll post a new painting Monday. Here's a few more quotes:

"Nowhere in the American national character is there as deep a divide as that between our reverence for 'unspoiled' nature and our enduring devotion to 'progress.' "

--Joel Garreau, in Edge City.


"I always saw better when my eyes were closed."

--Tom Waits


"Everything is miraculous. It is a miracle that one does not melt in one's bath."

--Pablo Picasso


"Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you."
