Doing Art

Just thought I would share some of my favorite quotes about art:

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be. -Abraham Maslow

Art is Man’s nature.  Nature is god’s art.  ~James Bailey

Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul – and you answer.  ~Star Richés

A painting is what you make of it, besides which, ‘Moon, Weeping’ has a better ring to it than ‘Paintbrush, Dripping.’  ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com

Art is not a thing; it is a way.  ~Elbert Hubbard

One of the best things about paintings is their silence – which prompts reflection and random reverie.  ~Mark Stevens

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.  ~André Gide

This represent a little food for thought. Be creative, open up your heart and let it flow!
