Everything we do is art, even off-kilter images.
But at least we have the arts, right?
Good paintings are not born. They are made.
Many drawings are going to be wrong in the end, but you have to start somewhere.

Adam and Eve try to depict the inner emotional life through form and colour, rather than depicting objective reality, but they don’t take art too seriously.
A life spent making daydreams is more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
Good art wards off evil spirits.
Return to the practice of older days when practice of visual arts was not yet divorced from modern theories of aesthetics.
W.J.T. Mitchell, Picture Theory, p.377
Spiders fight the dehumanization of art.
Life is short, painting oily.
Life is fluid like Chinese ink, art is simple, each work is both question and answer.
We are not just computers.
Art only transcends space and time to make difficult truths more digestible.
Smart artworks hope you all are doing well where truth ends and poetry begins.
Good riddance to minimalism, perfection kills everything but the subconscious decisions that coalesce into what we call a painting.

Good paintings are opportunistic predators.
The charm of mythical and dreamy things is everywhere.
Nature alone is the greatest art. Please leave it alone. Drawing too much is not enough. Museums now face an uncertain path forward, with neither liberal virtue-signaling nor anti-woke irony offering much hope for meaningful art.
Art doesn’t solve problems, art is a trip into another dimension. Galleries are filled with living things and they cannot be allowed to grow wild or they will cease to exist. Quirky naive art should be an expression of the mind. All that is true is unpretentious.
The takeaway is simple: There is no why, it is art. Avoid information overload when you can, pictures are allowed to show emotion, and they don’t hold back.
