Pyrre, from a new series of paintings (Graphite, gold pigment, wax medium on wood panel)

Thoughts worth sharing by two artists I admire:

***
Art is a guarantee of sanity. That is the most important thing I have said.

–Louise Bourgeois

***
What gets an artist out of bed is the possibility of actually making something with infinite meaning.

–Richard Tuttle

Thank you to Nicole Page-Smith and Jerry Saltz for bringing these up. They are two worthy mantras for the start of any day.
