art quote to add,
please send it to:
rrosepaintings@yahoo.com, for me to post!
"Many
are willing to suffer for their art. Few are willing to learn to draw."
Simon Munnery
"If you're going to
try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing
girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not
eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It
could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation.
Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how
much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and
the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like
that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with
fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good
fight there is"
- Charles Bukowski
"Quality is never an accident;
it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent
direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many
alternatives." - William A Foster
"So, there are house-painters, there
are Sunday painters: there are world-politicians who paint for distraction,
and distraught business men who paint to relax. There are psychotic patients
who enter art therapy, and madmen who set down their visions: there are
little children of three, four, fix, six in art class, who produce work of
explosive beauty: and then there are innumerable painters ... who one,
probably were artists, but who now paint exclusively for money and the
pleasure of others. None of them are artists, though they all fall short of
being so to varying degrees, but they are all painters. And then there are
painters who are artists. Where does the difference lie and why? Why does
the one lot do which the other lot doesn't? When is painting and art and
why?
