Image
A list of your own making is the most powerful list of all... The good stuff can be 'love at first sight' - in need of study, courting and claiming. And like a love note, it's nice to have things in writing.

We artists give daily thanks for the miracle of our planet and for the inclination and the capability to honour it.

Never forget that the nurturing and preservation of your own muse is job one. Lose it and you may be losing a great deal.
Robert Genn
Image
Sentimental titles are the last bastion of scoundrels, and can add significant barf to an already barfy work.
Robert Genn
Image
God may work in light, but we mortals work in pigment.

Image
Landscape painting tends to fall under more academic controls. I must say I often like working within these controls. It gives me the feeling that I'm taking part in a noble tradition.
Robert Genn
Image
Don't assume there is only one way. Don't assume that mistakes are a bad thing. Don't think for one minute that everyone agrees with what 'good' is.
Robert Genn
Image
Our human landscape is overburdened with competitions and contests. Art need not be a contest. Art is a personal quest for quality. Quality is the forerunner of acceptance. Character is the forerunner of quality. Be your own discriminating connoisseur.
