"...Do you know what the most important color is in an artist's palette?... Child, it's black. Black is the most important color for an artist. You see, without black there is not depth. Without black everything appears flat. But mix black with any color and you can paint an object so real you want to reach out and touch it."








“...In our lives the darkest times, the days that are bleak and black, add depth to every other experience. Like the dark bits of color in a mosaic, they add the contrast and shadows that give beauty to the whole, but they are just a small part of the big picture.”
