Who Are Some of Your Favorite Painters?
StandardI have been creating a series of posts about favorite writers in a variety of categories, and I wanted to expand to considering other art forms.

For this post, I will include
Leonardo da Vinci
Claude Monet
and

I ask all of you: who are some of your favorite painters?

Quotations on Thinking
Standard
“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
Albert Einstein
“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.”
Voltaire
“He who thinks little errs much…”
Leonardo Da Vinci
Rest In Peace, Stephen Hawking
Standard
Renowned scientist, philosopher, and author Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76. Mr. Hawking was a brilliant thinker, someone whose accomplishments put him with the pantheon of great intellects, including Leonardo Da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein.
At the age of 21, he was diagnosed with the disease ALS and not expected to live for more than a few years at most. His longevity, despite facing a terrible illness, demonstrates his tenacity. He forged new ideas in science and wrote about those ideas in works that brought such thinking to nonscientists, including, but not limited to, A Brief History of Time and The Universe In A Nutshell.
He remained optimistic about the future of humanity, especially if we can successfully make our way into space.
The human race was fortunate to have had such a mind. They are indeed rare.
Rest In Peace, Stephen Hawking. (1942-2018)
