There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so, he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted. -Henri Matisse

While I’m thinking about Matisse, I thought I’d post some links:

Casey Klahn posted some reader submitted artist’s traits and also some Matisse Bits with a nice Bugs Bunny cartoon at the end.

Henri Matisse Art Quotes on the Painter’s Keys website.
