The World Is Your Studio

A fellow Mo once said: My wish is to stay always like this, living quietly in a corner of nature.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN NICE TO BE CLAUDE. BUT SINCE MOST OF US DON’T LIVE LEISURELY lives AMONGST OUR GARDENS AND LILY PONDS, IT’S EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO FIND SOME TIME TO COMMUNE WITH NATURE. THINK OF YOUR ART SUPPLIES AS THE CONDUIT TO a FULLER APPRECIATION OF ALL THE BEAUTY AROUND YOU (THAT’S NOT ON YOUR SCREEN)!

You should spend 20 minutes a day out in nature, unless you’re too busy. In that case, you should spend an hour.
