statement

I love paintings that are dramatic. I love the play of light on things. To me a painting is something someone who is not in the arts can enjoy.

I think art is getting destroyed by those that are anti-image. These people seem to think that philosophy is art. Well, I'm sorry, art is visual, and it stops being an art piece if you have to explain it by having a book of its intent written down in text next to it.
