👀 A GOOD DRAWING IS NOT THE ONE THAT BEST IMITATES THE MOTIF. BUT THE ONE THAT PROVIDES A MORE PERSONAL VISION OF SEEING IT.

How to Write About Art

It’s amazing what you find in charity shops/thrift stores- beautiful vintage ceramics. Definitely for use, not display! These are from the 1930’s – they are crying out to be used! So I do, and they inspire me to draw. 🙂

You

💘 A GREAT WORK ART IS HERE TO SAY YOU: “Every part of you it’s so different. That’s why I adore the way I’m loving you”.

Let's talk

Your eyes are not almond or brighter

Your way of talking is not the most graceful

But it’s the most attractive

The way you laugh makes my heart smile

Every part of you it’s so different

That’s why I adore the way I’m loving you

And second, he reached the masses by creating prints of his works.

But during his lifetime, all was not hunky-dory as he was criticized several times by art reviewers. Interestingly, he was criticized for adopting Western Realism in his paintings and color choices. His works were termed ‘calendar art’ and he suffered the wrath…
