A QUOTE FROM A BOOK

THIS WAS  SENT TO ME  BY A  FRIEND
When she was painting well...like any artist or athlete, "in the zone" - she saw the world as if preparing to put it on canvas. She would look at the streets, the trees, the people and imagine the type of brush she would use, the stroke, the mix of the colors, the differing lights and casts of shadows."




"Her work should reflect what she wanted, not reality. That was how she looked at art. We all see the world through our own prism. The best art tweaked reality to show the artist's world, what she saw or, more precisely, what she wanted others to see. It was not always a more beautiful reality. It was often more provocative, uglier maybe, more gripping and magnetic."
 
IF THIS  WERE A  REPORT CARD...   WHICH PAINTINGS WOULD MAKE THE  GRADE?
