Is it art?

" . . . I take my painting and put it
next to a God-made object like a tree
or a flower.  If it clashes, it is not art."
                                        —Paul Cézanne

    Cezanne is one of my favourite painters - but this also reminds me of Gauguin with all that gorgeous colour and life!
    Thank you for sharing on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
