"The artist looks at the blank canvas. What will come of it? What mood does she want to portray? So she sits and quiets herself. She pinpoints the place that touches her mood that day. There it is. Blues, Greens, Yellows and Reds. That feels like a good starting point. More colors come. She keeps creating from that place within her. It will take several days to finish. Then, Finally, she sits back and looks at her work. She wonders what others will see as they look at her work and then smiles."

"For the artist, the painting always goes deeper. There's an ache within her, a longing. And somehow there's comfort and hope too. She has put it all into each painting. She hopes that others can feel that depth too." -Author: Susan Rinehart
