Daily Art Quote #11 (by Gian Carlo Menotti)
Daily Art Quote:
"Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding."
~ Gian Carlo Menotti
As an artist who often paints flowers, I can totally relate to this quote. I've been enjoying finding and researching these Daily Art Quotes. I am learning a lot by researching them, and finding out more about some artists & people who I wasn't familiar with before, like this one. I don't think I had ever heard of Gian Carlo Menotti, although I have heard of his opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors", but haven't seen it.
I found the following video about Gian Carlo Menotti, which I found interesting.
And, in-keeping with the quote, here are some beautiful photos of some tulips growing near my driveway. I may actually do a separate post just about these tulips!

That is a great quote and how vibrant are those tulips!
It IS a great quote! Those tulips have been blowing me away every day lately - when I walk to & from my car. They are amazing! And, they close up every night & when it rains. Somehow, I never knew tulips did that before.
