    Edith Kramer great visual artist and great art therapist. Sad news for the field of art therapy--Edith Kramer died in her home in Austria this morning (02-22-2014). Edith Kramer was 98 years old, she shaped the field of art therapy over many decades through her writings, presentations and life.

    It'd be great to live to be 98.

    An Other one from Peet Thuenissen called `Liberation`

    image

    I like the combination of words and visual components in her work

    Here a translation of the text in this piece:

    The higher you will rise
    the deeper you will fall
    The more you fall
    the more you will learn
    The more you learn
    the more you will know
    The more you know
    The more you will understand
    That after each fall
    You will rise higher

    This one is called "Morning Mist" by Ivan Shishkin. I love it when mornings have a white mist hanging in the air. I'm glad someone else felt this way and painted it!
