Love plein air; Quotations from "Hawthorne on Painting" by Charles W. Hawthorne

"Do studies, not pictures. Know when you are licked — start another. Be alive, stop when your interest is lost. Put off finish — make a lot of starts.  Realize the value of putting down your first impression quickly. Swing a bigger brush — you don't know what you're missing. Paint what you see, not what you know. To see things simply is the hardest thing in the world."
