Good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us.

Art quotes

I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin


It is all very well, when the pen flows, but then there are the dark days when imagination deserts one, and it is an effort to put anything down on paper. That little you have achieved stares at you at the end of the day, and you know the next morning you will have to scrape it down and start again.
Elizabeth Aston, The True Darcy Spirit, 2006


To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
Joseph Chilton Pearce


It doesn't matter if people are interested. It's about you taking your stuff and shouting out into the void.
Jadelr and Cristina Cordova, Chasing Windmills, 2006


The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
Jackson Pollock

I like the one by Elizabeth Aston.

Here's a kind of funny, and maybe a bit narcissistic, one by Salvador Dali:

“When I paint, the sea roars. The others splash about in the bath.” – Salvador Dali

Yep, Dalí was always a little egocentric and narcissistic!!!! But he was also a genius...
