Who knows if the moon's
a balloon, coming out of a keen city
in the sky - filled with pretty people?
and if you and I should
get into it, if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people
than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody's ever visited, where
always
it's
Spring and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves
Edward Estlin Cummings

Artist Statement
for melissa
for melissa
Im an arts therapist and kinder teacher who has been painting and drawing on and off since childhood.
All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Pablo Picasso
Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.
Pablo Picasso
Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar.
Pablo Picasso
Gotta love Picasso's sense of humour... :)
