Quote
Art is art, nature is nature, you cannot improve upon it. Pictures should be inspired by nature, but made in the soul of the artist.
Note
This quote leans toward an internal standard. Carr distinguishes between the external reality of nature and the internal creative process of the artist. She suggests that art is not about improving nature but about expressing the artist's inner vision inspired by it. True artistic creation comes from within, from the soul's unique response to the world.
