A painting with a message does not happen by accident. It happens when you place elements in their order of importance.
All paintings are abstract ideas, not representations of a true reality.
All artists are illusionists of one kind or another.
The way we see is critical to understanding how others will read our compositions.
Monet, Manet, Sisley, Renoir, Van Gogh and others went outside to paint for one simple reason - it looks different outside.
The difficult part of the process is the long exploration and discovery of your own soul and living with the results.
