Changing the Light

"The substance of painting is light." (Andre Derain)

"Truly, it is in the darkness that one
finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is
nearest of all to us." (Meister Johann Eckhart)

"Oh mysterious world of all light, thou hast made a light shine within me." (Paul Gauguin)

So very nice -- and ain't Painters' Keys grand?

Thanks for sharing this!

(Went to a museum today with a friend and sat in front of a Hans Hoffman painting for more than 40 minutes -- it was singing so loudly, I couldn't not listen.)
