Cliff at Fecamp (1881) 🎨 Claude Monet

'Life is given only once, and one wants to live it boldly, with full conscious and beauty.'
~ Anton Chekhov

Morning in a Pine Forest (1889)
🎨 Ivan Shishkin

The night breeze in a bluebell wood is ever-so-potent. Softly slicing the inessential off of you, simultaneously wounding and healing, and all amidst a perfumed backdrop that blesses you at each divine stage. Oh, what sweet significance it holds for the nocturnal adventurer!

'There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more.'
~ Lord Byron

A Rocky Coast (1877)
🎨 William Trost Richards
