QUOTE(S) OF THE DAY
“If I can't find some mystery, something that moves me, then I have just done an illustration, not a painting. The paintings that really thrill me are those that leave a lot unsaid, but there's a presence" – Lee Weiss
Sad news from The Garver Gallery
Lee Weiss died today (11/27) at age 90
“Lee Weiss has been a resident of Madison, WI for most of her painting career. Since the 1960s Weiss has built a national reputation for her adventuresome use of the watercolor medium. Weiss has participated in every major American watercolor competition from the 1960s through the 1990s and her pieces are in numerous museum and corporate collections including the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Art, the National Space and Air Museum, and the Phillips Collection, all in Washington, D.C. Weiss’ works are known for their interpretation of the spiritual qualities of nature and for her mastery of the watercolor medium through innovative painting techniques. Since the mid-1960's Weiss has developed her work from small-scale depictions of large landscapes to monumental presentations of landscape details.”
“Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides.” – Rita Mae Brown
“In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.” – William Blake
“I've discovered that Motown and Broadway have a lot in common - a family of wonderfully talented, passionate, hardworking young people, fiercely competitive but also full of love and appreciation for the work, for each other and for the people in the audience.” – Berry Gordy “If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies.” – Jon Stewart
“Between the optimist and the pessimist, the difference is droll. The optimist sees the doughnut; the pessimist the hole!” – Oscar Wilde
