It greatly interests me the things people say, so I’d like to share some sayings.

‘You are the most human of human beings I have ever met.‘

‘Nobody talks like that now‘ – ‘I’d find it decidedly boring to be a dodecahedron conforming to a triangular world‘.

It’s not an insistence to be different, it’s a liking and a personal happiness.

A certain man said ‘I want to change the world by keeping it the same and change the world by making it different.’.

I do love sayings.

Shall we move onto discussing art?  Besides, everything written is by reason.  Or are we all not art personified to this day?

Honestly said, my painting experience compared with past art Masters is least in terms of practical years and technical study.

Lest everything is gained from one another even as I have gained merrily so likewise.

Experimentation makes for perfect art.  A brief study with one of Claude Monet’s artworks is most useful in explaining this.  I’ve chosen The Cliff of Aval, Etretat or La Falaise d’Étretat as a study herewith.

Three appealing versions of his composition is shown below:

 

 

“Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.” said Monet.

Feeling is the most important element within these versions.  Value is derived from emotion, personal perception, general interest, measurable qualities and artist marketability – latterly in monetary terms.

Every artist knows how to feed this insatiable hunger.

Painting a sense of feeling that shines through.

Camille Monet On Her Deathbed – 1879

To this I ask – has anyone seen any artist whose individual paintings are all valued equal?  By experimentation the eyes of the Artist hone earthenware into a cascading masterpiece full of hues, form and ideas to dazzle and excite your senses.

I love this enviable challenge within every art version I create.  It invigorates me the same as well-known singing musicians enjoy changing pitch, or tone or key from a beloved song.  Art is a feeling.  A story we are compelled to share.

Monet practiced.  Obsessively.  One day I was looking through a large book of Monet artworks.  Every single painting is a masterpiece.  I hope you are inspired by Monet’s sense of painting perfection.

‘Sometimes perfection is immediate and sometimes it takes time.‘

For me love for art never dies.
