As we grow older new and wonderful things interest us, whilst spending a week in Tuscany i was continuously noticing independent artists working quietly on the side of busy cities, taking in the surroundings of small towns and still being able to paint or draw in between tourist crowds.
I found myself looking at every stand and in every art gallery totally blown away and inspired by these amazing people full of talent.
The artists i saw all painting, drawing or taking photos had smiles on their faces while still looking like they are working in a world of complete silence.
All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind,
from inner stillness.
I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
At moments of great enthusiasm it seems to me that no one in the world has ever made something this beautiful and important.
There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it.
Reason is powerless in the expression of Love.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Painting is silent poetry.
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
Let me ask you something, what is not art?
