Painting ... (is) a form of magic designed as a mediator between this strange, hostile world and us, a way of seizing the power by giving form to our terrors as well as our desires.
--Pablo Picasso
The best lawyers are very much like painters. Oratory, briefs, and agreements are the canvas, palette, and brush they use to make the things we fear less frightening and the things we aspire to more attainable.
--C. Dewees Berry, IV
