“I think you should just let it be. Then you got the essence of what it is. If you’re trying to do something you think you should be doing, you’ve lost it already.” — Neil Young Although Neil Young’s quote pertains to music, art is art. He’s talking about spontaneity.

Damn the thieves
You know I don’t like dwelling on the negative but every once in a while ya just gotta vent and either take a stand or move on. So here’s my vent: I keep reading stuff about a new kind of art thievery going on. In a way it’s the same old-same old. You know, lazy-assContinue reading “Damn the thieves”

When I started painting I was enamored by the old Dutch masters and Italian masters of course, but eventually I found 19th century art, which won my heart from many directions.
