"There is a brotherhood and Sisterhood of painters.  Dead and alive, absent and present, we travel together and keep each other company.  Members of the 'hood are our friends, fellow students and occasional critics.  We find them struggling and we find them triumphant on sunny shores and in quiet bowers.  We honour them with our efforts as they have honoured us.  The phenomenon of the 'hood just doesn't stop.  As far as I can see, it's eternal." -Robert Genn
