The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.
~ William James

When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new.
This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb,
and to seek the mountain view.

    As an ardent fan of cherries, this certainly says ‘craving’ to me! Love the red which I shall try to ‘copy’ for some red poppies I want to draw.

    Cherries, yay! Oh, I’m so glad it’s (nearly) summer. This piece makes me really happy! Thanks for the quotes as well, they’re always inspiring.
    Hope life’s treating you well at the moment and that you’re just the right amount of busy!

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.
