Favorite Quotes

I'm a big fan of Pinterest and I always find interesting Art Quotes that have inspired me. I found one that I am particularly fond of and I wanted to share it with you here.


THINGS I WISH SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST

1. Don't compare your work to other's, compare your new work to the old.

2.  You don't have to go to Art School, but doing so can get you further faster.

3.  Someone, Somewhere, will love what you do (and pay for it).  Find them.

4.  Really good work takes a really long time to make.  Be patient with yourself.

5.  Create every single day.  Even if it's all garbage, you can't improve on a blank canvas.


So true!  I love these words.
 Sometimes you just have to struggle and keep at it in order to succeed.

Keep on Painting!

~A Second Favorite Quote

The job of an Artist is to offer a Sanctuary of Beauty to an ugly world.

From Leonardo Da Vinci

(These words were found in Leonardo's room.)

May it please the Lord,
Light of all things,
So I may paint
Light worthily.
