Old Town Cantina, oil, 10x10" (25x25 cm.)I recently read David Pyle's What Every Artist Needs to Know About Paints and Colors. He quotes Josef Albers, who using music as a metaphor for the visual arts, said: "Music depends on the recognition of the in-between of the tones, of their placing and their spacing." I think this principle is true in any discipline: music, visual arts, language and literature. The most important element is not the things themselves (words, colors, sounds) but their relationships. Even in life....the most important element is the relationships we have.
