Quotes 2 - John Anthony Ciardi

Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea. ~ John Anthony Ciardi  (American Poet)

Quotes 1 - Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso said: "As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself.  What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done?  A painter has only one language."  I think I feel the same way about music. 

SILENCE

Since this is meant to be a gallery - such as it is - I have seldom (if ever) made any comments on this blog. I figure the paintings speak for themselves. Tonight, I realized I have actually gotten to about the halfway mark in my development as an artist. I am self taught - you can tell. I can actually go back to page one and see my very first painting. This one is entitled OIL - number 310 from 2008.
