The greatest temptation and danger is to rely on previous solutions and thus paint the same picture for the rest of your life. (Charles Movalli)

Capturing Moments
I like to capture a certain look on someone's face or paint a view I will miss out on if I take one more step. They solidify memories in a way a camera just can't. Painting my own realities and getting lost in them during the process is something I have come to require each day. Time and space have no place there and I can get lost until a tap on the shoulder brings me home. Feels kinda like a lucid dream while it lasts and in that reality the brush is merely the motion of the wind pushing colors around

Anything with Colors is Real
Because anything with colors is real, no matter how unreal it might sound, if it is on a canvas then you are a creator of emotions.

It can't look like you've worked hard and long, even if you have. A painting should be done quickly with both your intellect and your nerves. When they give out, stop. (Charles Movalli)

The painterly painters labor under a disadvantage, since their idea of finish is not that of the general public. (Charles Movalli)

The brush stroke is like a piece of the painter's handwriting. (Charles Movalli)

painterly painters believe that an abbreviated style is best suited to capturing elusive effects. But although they consciously strive to develop a rapid execution, their detractors often criticize this characteristic, dismissing their work as little more than sketches.
(Charles Movalli)

The painterly painter uses the viewer's experience to give life to the work. Instead of being a passive receiver of information, the viewer becomes a participant. (Charles Movalli

both you and paintings are layered… first, ephemera and notations on the back of the canvas. Labels indicate gallery shows, museum shows, footprints in the snow, so to speak. Then pencil scribbles on the stretcher, usually by the artist, usually a title or date. Next the stretcher itself. Pine or something. Wooden triangles in the corners so the picture can be tapped tighter when the canvas becomes loose. Nails in the wood securing the picture to the stretcher. Next, a canvas: linen, muslin, sometimes a panel; then the gesso - a primary coat, always white. A layer of underpaint, usually a pastel color, then, the miracle, where the secrets are: the paint itself, swished around, roughly, gently, layer on layer, thick or thin, not more than a quarter of an inch ever -- God can happen in that quarter of an inch -- the occasional brush hair left embedded, colors mixed over each other, tones showing through, sometimes the weave of the linen revealing itself. The signature on top of the entire goulash. Then varnish is swabbed over the whole. Finally, the frame, translucent gilt or carved wood. The whole thing is done.”

Paint only what you see,' his hero Millet had admonished.
'Imagination is a burden to a painter,' Auguste Renoir had told him. 'Painters are craftsmen, not storytellers. Paint what you see.'
Ah, but what they hadn't said, hadn't warned him about, was how much you could see.

Once, Turner had himself lashed to the mast of a ship for several hours,
during a furious storm, so that he could later paint the storm
. Obviously, it was not the storm itself that Turner intended to paint
. What he intended to paint was a representation of the storm.

When you want to make the main color pure and bright,
don't just keep adding bright colors on it.
Just make the colors around the spot darker

It will give the scene dramatical effects.

How do you even know I'm someone you'll want to remember? We've only seen each other once before.'

'Have you ever looked at a painting and known you had something in common with it?

When I see you, I feel that way.
I feel like the deepest part of me understands something vital about you.'

The painter is not simply someone who looks and who sees.
Above all, the artist is someone who exposes a personal vision by rendering it visible.
The painter shows or allows the seeing of "something" that without him,
without his intervention,
would not be seen.
He manifests through his work a possibility of seeing that would otherwise remain latent.

In other words, painting is an art that reveals or unveils the world from an angle that the world itself does not present to us.
Painting creates.
It does not limit itself to imitation or reproduction.
Any desire to confine painting within the limits of deja vu would be a gross misunderstanding of the essence of what painting is.
Painting allows us to see that which without it would never be seen.

¨D Marcel Paquet, Botero

Such is my relationship with God and the universe:
on my gigantic canvas of life,
I am the one throwing all of the brightly-colored paints,
creating genuine splatters,
authentic whirlpools of color,
beautiful patterns,
wonderful streaks and stains and wild accents;
God is the one with the paintbrush who stands beside my canvas
filling all the intricate and amazing details in between
the whirlpools and the streaks!
We're happy together!”

You need something to establish one thing over another aesthetically and in terms of the picture plane.

So the most important thing in achieving a successful painting is determining where you are going
which includes what you ultimately want the viewer to look at
and what you want them to ignore.

Painting is a series of relationships.
...........thick and thin paint,
hard edges and soft edges,
color against colorlessness, foreground and background

http://fineartamerica.com/groups/faa-gallery-home-for-all-artists-who-create-.html?showmessage=true&messageid

The best way to correct problems or distortions
is to leave a painting for hours or days

return when you're feeling fresh and ready.

This will also allow the painting to dry in between sessions
so that you may build up the painting in layers... and think and make changes

love the process, more than the end product.
love the frantic mind being on vacation while painting.
love painting things liked.
love seeing the world differently.
