Art Quote by Gina Marinello-Sweeney

“The soft voice of a piccolo glided through the airy expanse of a small, brightly furnished room. A tall painter, dark locks falling across her face, moved her brush fervently in a wave of inspiration—and yet her ardor seemed simultaneously as calm as the ripples of the lake that she depicted.” quote by Gina Marinello-Sweeney
