      Good day and lets just enjoy  the fact that its now and its not tomorrow.     


You do know I hope that the photos of art and the paintings are mine and its only the accompanying sayings who are by the names I give credit for?
Good and of course credit must go to God Almighty for creating the me and the universe and stuff for me to do my art.. Thanks Big man, you are The Man.

 If I choose abstraction over reality, it is because I consider it the lesser chaos. (Robert Brault)

 Abstract art has come into being as a necessary expression of the feelings and thoughts of our age; it has added new dimensions to creative painting. (Leonard Brooks)

 Abstract Art... is part of the constant change and vital searching that energizes every true art. (Leonard Brooks)

 What I mean by 'abstract' is something which comes to life spontaneously through a gamut of contrasts, plastic at the same time as psychic, and pervades both the picture and the eye of the spectator with conceptions of new and unfamiliar elements... (Marc Chagall)

 Abstract literally means to draw from or separate. In this sense every artist is abstract... a realistic or non-objective approach makes no difference. The result is what counts. (Richard Diebenkorn)

 By means of the sign, man frees himself from the here and now for abstraction. (Umberto Eco)

 Abstract art has helped us to experience the emotional power inherent in pure form. (Anton Ehrenzweig)

                  Abstraction is an esoteric language. (Eric Fischl)

 Abstract artists tell their stories with shapes, color, edges, movement, and value - just like when one is painting a beautiful scene. The difference is, of course, there is no scene. The scene is within the artist. I often get asked, 'How do you know when you are done?' I am done when the story is told. (Gwen Fox)

             Do not copy nature too much. Art is an abstraction. (Paul Gauguin)

 Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot physically see with his eyes... Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an explosion into unknown areas. (Arshile Gorky) This quote resonates with my own being.

 With abstract art I can create in the moment. No preconceived ideas. I just put some color on the canvas and keep going. (Peggy Guichu)

 Abstract art is a creative interplay between the conscious and the unconscious, with the conscious mind making all the final decisions and in control throughout. (Lawren Harris) Now I agree with a lot of the above with the proviso that perhaps unknown to our conscious mind, the subconscious occasionally some-times calls the shots.

 So now the floodgates are open to the delight of pure form, whatever its origin. Anything goes. (Philip Johnson)

 The more abstract is form, the more clear and direct its appeal. (Wassily Kandinsky)

 How do abstract artists know when they're getting better? (David Leffel) Maybe then answer is look back at my work when first posted and then now.. The future is unknown.

 An abstract painting is exactly what it proports to be, whether it be paint splatters or stripes, while a representational painting has to give the illusion of the paint being air, or flesh, or flowers... therefore abstract paintings are rather concrete while representational paintings are rather abstract. (David Leffel)

 Due to my big sisters intervention stating just right that I am meant to be helping my sons and ex-wife move house.

 Have a blessed and inspired Monday, dont knock cos its all we have got today! Brothers and sisters, know that you are loved and share this love and blog. Spread it around generously. Thank you.
