Favorite Quote:
Well, let it pass. April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice.

A quality of expensive paints,
The ability to retain color after years of sun
To hold fast to their name
Forever red, forever young
Van Gogh’s oils fade to blue
In the yellow house
With the lavender room.

Cadmium and phthalo
Bismuth and alizarian
Dioxzine and chromium
Quinacridone and indanthrene
Oxide and ochre
Heavy and slow.
