“A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others,” were the wise words of a true iconic artist, Salvador Dali. Each major artist perceived reality in their own way and the reality expressed in their art did, in fact, inspire many other artists.

Gaining a Green Thumb Living in the country and passing several farms on the way to and from my home made me contemplate how rewarding it could be to have that much land and provide for my family with food straight from the earth.
