Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.

A great sentiment can be rendered immediately. Dream on it and look for the simplest form in which you can express it.

Poor artist! You gave away part of your soul when you painted the picture which you are now trying to dispose of.

Art is either plagiarism or revolution.

A hint - don't paint too much direct from nature. Art is an abstraction! study nature then brood on it and treasure the creation which will result, which is the only way to ascend towards God - to create like our Divine Master.
