    Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me leave to do my utmost.
                                                                                                                                              Isak Dineson

     I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

                                                                                                                    Frida Kahlo

    Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.

                                                                                                                              Andre Gide
     
      Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. To perform this difficult office it is sometimes necessary for him to sacrifice happiness and everything that makes life worth living for the ordinary human being.                                                                                                 Carl Jung

     I am risking my life for my work, and half my reason has gone. 

                                                                                                            Vincent van Gogh

    You're confusing product with process. Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they're talking about product. That's not art, that's the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.

                                                                            Jeff Melvoin, Northern Exposure, Fish Story, 1994

    I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

                                                                                                                                  Orson Welles
    To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
    Joseph Chilton Pearce  

    I like working. My friends get pissed off. I cancel dinner dates and all that kind of stuff because I like being in my studio.                        Jenny Saville

     

    "My artwork is never bad,
    There's no right or wrong way,
    My effort makes me feel glad,
    I would draw anything,
    an ocean or a bay.
    Bright colors, lines are bold;
    artwork is like gold." 
    From a student -
    Cedar Creek Elementary


    on: in-Love

    This is my beloved and this is my friend.   Song of Solomon

    Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
                                                                                                 Emily Bronte

     
    Honesty is the only way with anyone, when you'll be so close as to be living inside each other's skins.
                                                                                                                          Lois McMaster Bujold

    The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.                                                                                            Henry Miller

    To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.             Blackwater Woods

    I love you
    Not only for what you are
    But for what I am
    When I am with you            Roy Croft

     

    ...love from one being to another can only be that two solitudes come nearer, recognize and protect and comfort each other.

    truthfully

    The best way to know God is to love many things.  ~Vincent Van Gogh

    There is perhaps no phenomenon which contains so much destructive feeling as moral indignation, which permits envy or hate to be acted out under the guise of virtue.

    ~Erich Fromm

     

     

    human

     " God loves me regardless of my sins, my faults, my mistakes, my attitudes, my whining, my every flaw. 

    And so, I venture out in a new direction.  Unsure where the first stop will be, but until then, keep it real."

    ~Dana Lucas Timmerman

     

      “You are far worse than you could ever know and God loves you infinitely more than you can imagine.”

    ~Pastor Tim Keller.

    I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

    The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.

    Alan Ashley-Pitt

     

    Einstein

    "I too know who I am, what I don't know is where I am going."
     
    "Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."
     
    "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
     
    "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
     
    "...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."
       
     ~Einstein
