SIMPLICITY

"Simple can be harder than complex...you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end, because once you get there, you can move mountains.” Steve Jobs It can be overwhelming working on an image. There can be so much clutter and detail, and you are not sure where to begin or end. I have found SIMPLICITY is best. Focus on what really catches your eye, what really matters. Wisdom I need to use more in my day-to-day life. Enjoy the journey

Practice, Practice Practice!

"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working" (Picasso), and "To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow" (Kurt Vonnegut). “The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.” Michelangelo As we roll through September, I am starting to map out my plans for my art. I am putting the brakes on any new creations and spending more time on practicing techniques. At a loss right now for what to paint next, so until the idea arrives, spending time on improving my skill and understanding of what my brush, paints and canvas can create. Enjoy the journey.
