Drawing

"Drawing is the art of being able to leave an accurate record
of the experience of what one isn't, of what one doesn't know.
A great drawer is either confirming beautifully what is
commonplace or probing authoritatively the unknown."
::: Brett Whiteley :::

"Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion-all in one." - John Ruskin

"The Artist's dream"

I received this note this morning....


This is the artist's dream:
To receive the inspiration to create,
To share that creation with others,
And to be totally supported in the process.

I asked him to explain further. "It all begins with inspiration," he said, "an inspiration that calls us to create. Once the inspiration is received, then we can bring that vision into the world as a song, painting, book, invention, new business - or any other tangible form.

"After the creation is born, it needs to be shared with others. No one creates in a vacuum. It is only when the vision is successfully communicated to its intended audience that it truly comes alive.

"Finally, the artist needs to be supported for what he does. If he has made a positive connection with his audience, the support will come - financially and emotionally. And while it may not always be there immediately, it will ultimately arrive. This is where the artist needs to trust and be patient."
