The pioneer.

Friends, Art is so subjective and we all like different things and different styles so what I think is wonderful Art others may not think so and what I

think is not wonderful Art others may believe is great Art, of course it is only our opinion as to what is wonderful or not so..

I am always over joyed when people decide to paint and do it because they love to paint.

Painting is a wonderful pastime and more should do it and experience the pure joy of creating your own personal Art work.

If you never want to sell your work and give it away, I rejoice with you and encourage you to continue to paint for the pure love of painting and the happiness it brings when you give your Art away to grateful friends and family.

My opinion only comes into play when Artists enter the Art market and put prices on their work, then as someone who sells Art I will pick and choose what I think is best for my Gallery.

So what kind of Art do I personally like?

“New, different, extraordinary, unloved by the art public in general because it is new, different and extraordinary and has not been done before.”

I like it because I see the courage it takes to break out from the pack and be different, to be prepared to deal with the fear of rejection, isolation and no sales, just to allow the gift to flow and grow.

To walk against the establishment and opinion, to produce the work they believe in, knowing full well that it will not be accepted but dismissed without thought and often malice.

I admire these gifted women and men who so believe in the honesty and validity of their work that they are prepared to literately starve to produce it.

Unfortunately there are starving Artists out there because they choose to be trailblazers not map followers, they believe in their Art totally.

There time will come as collectors see the determination of these Artists and the quality of their paintings, every great painter was at some point an outsider, but the true gift opens the doors.

I respect this dedicated Artist, the true gifted creative soul, who approaches the canvas with honesty and vision and produces a stunning, breathtaking work of Art.

Persevere.

The gift will make way for itself.
