Stick-To-Itiveness

"There is no telling how many miles 

you will have to run while 

chasing a dream." 

~ Author Unknown

The Ugly Duckling

"The ugly duckling is a misunderstood universal myth. 

It's not about turning into a blonde Barbie doll or 

becoming what you dream of being; 

it's about self-revelation, 

becoming who you are. "

~ Baz Luhrmann

Almost every paining I do, goes through that awkward (ugly duckling) adolescent stage.

I have learned to just keep going however, because when you quit, you cease to grow and even if

the piece does not turn out well, the lessons learned are invaluable.

Edges and Values

"Edges must be held by tone values, not lines." 

~ A. C. Leighton

"Make the mid-value shape the biggest one 

and make the light and dark shapes smaller, 

but never equally sized. 

One or the other should dominate." 

~ Ron Ranson
