Beyond Beauty

Scribbled in my sketchbook:

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look. To affect the quality of the day - that is the highest of the arts. - Thoreau

Did you know Thoreau shares Doug’s and my birthdate?

Can’t say I did, but I do now. :-)
