Art rules the world

I just finished painting my mom a picture for her birthday and realised how much I miss painting. I just sat in my room (it was freazing outside) ah and I just painted with some chilled music on. It was really theraputic. Later when I have my own house, I'm gonna have a room, just for painting. Yup. And I'' let my kids paint what they want on the walls and and it will be full of canvases and different coloured paints..

My favourite type of painting has to be the kind that shows expression, and when you look at it  you can imagine that the artisit had a good time doing it. You can almost imagine him or her sweeping or dabbing the brushstrokes along the canvas, and behind the paint is a happy, carefree life. Paintings full of colours that don't necessarily match or look real, but they look right. Some of my greatest inspiraions; not only for painting and art, but for life in general...

 Matisse, Master of Colour

Le bonheur de vivre (The Joy of Life)

" Creativity takes courage. " 

     - Henri Matisse

  Kandinsky, Master of Abstract Expressionism

Autumn in Bavaria

 "Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential."

- Wassily Kandinsky 

 Van Gogh - Master of dreaming

Cafe Terrace at Night

"I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day."

Vincent Van Gogh

 One of my favourites...

 

Monet; Master of impressionism

Water lillies

"I am following Nature without being able to grasp her, I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers."

 - Claude Monet 

And another ...

 Impression Sunrise

"People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love."

Jackson Pollock; Master of chaos
Lavender Mist

"I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own."
 

"The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating."

And my favourite of them all...

 I dream of painting and then I paint my dream- Vincent van Gogh

 Today, I will paint.

I will paint great things;
Greater than you could ever imagine.

I will paint as though
getting covered in this creamy,
silky smooth consistency
is completely irresistible.

I will paint furiously and spontaneously with a free spirit,
making it quite impossible to not end up
speckled with paint.

Paint will speckle my hair and my face.
Speckled, resembling tiny beads of dew on morning grass
or specks on birds' eggs in the spring.

Paint will trace the outlines of my fingernails.
Smeared across the surface,
the paint will create a keen resemblance
of a poor attempt toward removing
tried-out, cheap, convenient store nail polish.

I will paint, I will paint :)
