My two favorites: "Painting is just another way of keeping a diary." P.P
"Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. L.dV.
But enjoyed them all. Thanks Patty for sharing those.
Verry nice quotes.
i like this one - Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.- Scott Adams
These are very interesting. I enjoyed reading them. I had an acquaintance who was a fantastic artist. He did some of the work for the National Cathedral, and also did that amazingly brilliant sculpture at the Vietnam Memorial. He died of a heart attack several years ago and I remember thinking what a tragic loss it was. An artist sees the world in the way no one else can. It can't be simply copied by someone else. And when that vision is gone it can't be replaced.
So I guess I lean more towards the "dipping into the soul" comment than Warhol's "It's just a job"!!
