Carlson on Landscape Painting

"Study direct from nature. Study to feel, to know something of her visible functionings. Nature, to the thoughtful, will always remain a vast and delightful storehouse, [a] fountain of inspiration...It is the artist's privelege and prerogative to capture these miracles and transmute them into an expressive form."

-John F. Carlson

(from his book Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting)
