"Creative geniuses tend to be less the ones with the quickest answers and more the ones who keep working till they get it right."

It's statements like this that keep me going. Click the image and read about the 5 principles. In our present society that seems to focus on the quick fix and providing instant gratification it is reassuring to know that there is still room for the deep thinking and the hard work that forms the creative act in whatever form it may come in.

A Good Read

This was an interesting book that views the world from the perspective of a young American woman with a burning desire to become an artist during a time when people didn't know what to make of females with artistic urges. Her adventures and struggles in Paris at the start of the Belle Epoch make for compelling reading. A bit long winded at times but still a good read for those of you who like a story served up with a healthy splash of Art History.

    Hello Everyone, I am back from my first year teaching overseas in China. Despite working harder than I ever have in my life I was able to get four good sized paintings done while I was there and also take in some of the amazing art and culture that makes up this remarkable country. Check out the video of the 798 District which is a major draw for people who love the arts. My first visit there was cut short due to being pick-pocketed on the metro but I plan to return again and see it in its entirety.
