More From Camille Pissarro

Just slap anything on when you see a blank canvas staring you in the face like some imbecile. you don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas is, which says to the painter, ‘you can't do a thing’. the canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerizes some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves. many painters are afraid in front of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the real, passionate painter who dares and who has broken the spell of `you can't' once and for all.
Real Broken Passionate
Cover the canvas at the first go, and then work on till you see nothing more to add ... don't proceed according to rules and principles, but paint what you observe and feel. paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose the first impression.
First Impression Firsts Principles
Only add deeds to thy knowledge answerable, add faith, add virtue, patience, temperance, add love, by name to come call'd charity, the soul of all the rest; then wilt thou not be loath to leave this paradise, but shall possess a paradise within thee, happier far.

There are those of us who are always about to live. we are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down / until, until, until. it always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.
Tired Waiting Events
I've never found anything to be lacking in a blurry canvas. quite the contrary: you can see many more things in it than in a sharply focused image. a landscape painted with exactness forces you to see a determined number of clearly differentiated trees, while in a blurry canvas you can perceive as many trees as you want. the painting is more open.

Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.

I'd love to travel to the holy land.
Travel Land Holy
America does not concern itself now with impressionism. we own no involved philosophy. the psyche of the land is to be found in its movement. it is to be felt as a dramatic force of energy and vitality. we move; we do not stand still. we have not yet arrived at the stock-taking stage.
Philosophy Moving Land
In mysteries what we know, and our realization of what we do not know, proceed together; the larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder. it is like the quantum world, where the more we understand its formalism, the stranger that world becomes.

How much better when the whole land is a garden, and the people have grown up in the bowers of a paradise.
