“You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you
are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover
that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of
hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second
symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into
death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous
illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like
this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They
picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock
treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and
saves them from death. Some never awaken.”— Anaïs Nin

If Dominance is an act of setting someone free, and Submission is an act of willfully devoting oneself to another, then who is the captor and who is the captive? A leash after all has two ends, both of which must be held. Ultimately, Dominant and Submissive are bound to one another not by chains but by their own need, and the mutual fulfillment of those needs…We are here by choice and by choice we stay.

Painting is a blind man’s profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.

Impressionism
A French 19th century art movement which marked a momentous break from tradition in European painting. The Impressionists incorporated new scientific research into the physics of colour to achieve a more exact representation of colour and tone.
The sudden change in the look of these paintings was brought about by a change in methodology: applying paint in small touches of pure colour rather than broader strokes, and painting out of doors to catch a particular fleeting impression of colour and light. The result was to emphasise the artist’s perception of the subject matter as much as the subject itself.
Impressionist art is a style in which the artist captures the image of an object as someone would see it if they just caught a glimpse of it. They paint the pictures with a lot of color and most of their pictures are outdoor scenes. Their pictures are very bright and vibrant. The artists like to capture their images without detail but with bold colors. Some of the greatest impressionist artists were Edouard Manet, Camille Pissaro, Edgar Degas, Alfred Sisley, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot and Pierre Auguste Renoir.
