Inspiring Artist Quote of the Day by Pablo Picasso

What did Pablo Picasso Mean?

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Pablo Picasso What do you think he meant by this? 

I cannot tell you what he meant, because only he knew, but I can tell you what it means to me....

🎨The act of making art, mixing paint, applying brush to canvas, pen to paper...it's mind clearing, soul nourishing, stress relieving, rejuvenating. 

🖼️The act of viewing art.....in galleries, public spaces, private spaces, my home and my friends' homes, social media.....fills my soul with color....and that sustains me until the next time I get to make more art! 

👩‍🎨 Witnessing others enjoy art....especially my own art , or when I inspire someone else to play with art supplies.... fills my heart with joy! 

🥰 That's a big reason I enjoy plein air painting in my travel sketchbook on vacation.  

Quick watercolor painting and ball point pen sketching in a travel journal is wonderful way to absorb my surroundings when I am on vacation.  An art journal is my own special way to record what I want to remember most, in a way that is meaningful to me.
