“Collect impressions. Don't be in a hurry to write them down.

“As far as I was concerned, with the early paintings, I liked them, I thought they were pretty good, but I didn't think it was the end of the world. I also thought of it as a kind of structure, a base to build on. So this proves I can do this and that, and they don't collapse, so then what can I do from here? How can I build on it?” ThinkingWorldKindI CanEndsCan DoPaintingProveConcernedStructureCollapseEnd Of The WorldI Can Do This Author:Frank Stella
“More and more I've come to understand that listening is one of the most important things we can do for one another. Whether the other be an adult or a child, our engagement in listening to who that person is can often be our greatest gift.

I can do that."” ThinkingLooksI CanSometimesShowsDreamRememberCan DoRealizingMorningSawsPaintingWake Up Author:Julian Schnabel
“When I was first painting the Monopoly guy I received a criticism. People said, "You're just painting cartoon characters, anyone can do that," but I'm actually a very skilled artist.

“All art is a gift. It is first of all a gift that the maker can do it. It is then a gift to someone else, whether they pay for it or not. The wonder of it is that we cannot get the production of these gifts stopped. Art is life seeking itself. It is our intractable expressions of love for the beauties, ideas and epiphanies we regularly find. I framed the painting. It's now hanging in our den.
