Robert Genn
Image
Art is a Great Goddess of infinite intrigue and illusion, and even a lifetime of worship may not find her fickle soul.

Image
A curiosity prompt heightens the senses and hones compositional ability.
Robert Genn
Image
The painting world is awash with people who cannot paint. This is a condition that would not be tolerated in other professions such as Dentistry, Medicine, or among members of the Airline Pilot's Association.
Robert Genn
Image
Start with the foreground. Compositions fail when the foreground is treated as an afterthought.
Robert Genn
Image
Take your brush here and there like a bee in an alpine meadow. In other words, don't laboriously work on or try to finish off one particular part. Paint promiscuously.
Robert Genn
Image
With materialization in play you have magic in your fingers and you become the wizard.
Robert Genn
Image
Sometimes you have to go through something else to find what you're looking for.
