I saw an exhibit in Chicago of Van Gogh and Gaugain and both had done paintings of their landlady. It was interesting seeing their unique take on the same person.<br /><br />I draw scenes to remind me of places. I'm always worried that I didn't get it right, but when I look back at the sketches, it doesn't seem to matter if the proportions are correct, because somehow the heart of the place is there.Betty Hechtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652848311122102223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-65343214945217174162009-07-28T11:16:47.496-04:002009-07-28T11:16:47.496-04:00Love the MacDonald quote.
