dog jobs needs
A dog is like a person—he needs a job and a family to be what he’s meant to be.

Children know the truth: love is not an emotion, love is behavior.
Family' is not just a biological word, it's an an operative one.
player mirrors lines
There's a quote from Hamlet that is my guide... He tells the players not to exaggerate but to hold a mirror up to nature. Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.

My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work.
knights drawing undisciplined
And, of course, I began drawing so much - wild, undisciplined pencil drawings and watercolors of knights battling and such.
lines moderation
Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.

To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
ice snow tree
With watercolour, you can pick up the atmosphere, the temperature, the sound of snow shifting through the trees or over the ice of a small pond or against a windowpane. Watercolour perfectly expresses the free side of my nature.
