Quote for the Day 6/16/2016

“True courage and boldness as we admire it in the greatest artists can only be born from the feelings that study has developed. False courage, the conceit of self-consciousness and ignorance, is the most regrettable vice for the artist. Modesty, the inclination for naive research are, on the contrary, the most precious qualities for a beginner.”

-Edouard Lanteri, from Modelling and Sculpting the Human Figure 1902

Visons of Adepticon 2016

The Blog has been quiet these last two weeks but that is because I’ve been travelling to Adepticion and Crystal Brush! Simply put this is the best convention in the US to go to if you want to meet great painters and see amazing artwork. This year I was a teacher and a student. I won some and I lost some. I saw old friends and met new ones. It was a great time and I can hardly wait until the painting tribe comes together again!
