"color is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment."

Claude Monet

​

"that sunrise by Monet is called not landscape, but impression. thus they take leave of reality and enter the realms of idealism."

​

"after i stoodback, i enjoyed the perspective."

Dale Chihuly

​

"desire gives me life."

Hajime Sorayama

​

"sponteneity & intuition to convey ideas

​momentary interpretations of reality of how it is

​formless contemplations of an inner impression

​the unconscious expressed."

Brian Strand

​

"i'm not expecting much. no one likes my new 'vision.'

​

so what, i dont ask approval or respect

do i? to hell with them

​

paint needs to be paint

not some silly illusion

​

maybe i should have hung the portrait

that degas likes so well

​

no, it's a pretty painting

this one full of light and color

​​

some will call it crude

a rough sketch

lets see what the critics say

​​

i'm content with it, i captured a moment that morning

that impression that sunrise"

Aristo II

​​

"time is an illusion. it keeps playing the same day over and over. insanity is repeating the same action hoping for a different result.

this is (the) complete opposite with the result being insanity... why do i have to be so difficult ?"

 "i don't understand life sometimes. i feel like i'm in a stalemate.

(but then it throws a ().)

and i've just learned not to hold anything it gives because... why is it there?

why ?  i honestly can not answer that question."

​

"i'm just tired.

if there is a future, i cannot see it."

2022

​

"and i feel alone...

when i'm alone i question my existence.

what is making my life worth living other than you."
