..."The painter looks to nature to find that which he needs for his painting.
He seeks to find that which is both illustrative of his artistic vision and necessary to the fulfillment of his creative impulse.
Without an initial creative vision however, all other factors are useless."
by prof. Zbylut Grzywacz
