art work thinking
Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
thinking years growth
You think you're developing and getting better and then you see something you did years ago. Looking at your early work.. sometimes it has a depth that surprises you.
art emotional thinking
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes. I see no reason for painting but that. If I have anything to offer, it is my emotional contact with the place where I live and the people I do.
thinking alive environment
I think a person permeates a spot, and a lost presence makes the environment timeless to me, keeps an area alive. It pulsates because of that.
eye thinking use
I think you have to use your eyes as well as your emotion, and one without the other just doesn't work
love art thinking
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
fear thinking quality
I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.
aloud american-artist became history tales wonderful
I surrendered to a world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare.
american-artist bit fly foot work
I can't work completely out of my imagination. I must put my foot in a bit of truth; and then I can fly free.

I'm a secretive bastard. I would never let anybody watch me painting... it would be like somebody watching you have sex - painting is that personal to me.
american-artist art far goes love
One's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
player mirrors lines
There's a quote from Hamlet that is my guide... He tells the players not to exaggerate but to hold a mirror up to nature. Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
aim mediums
My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work.
knights drawing undisciplined
And, of course, I began drawing so much - wild, undisciplined pencil drawings and watercolors of knights battling and such.
