Arcy Art Original Oil Paintings

This week I will be taking a break from updating the Art Dictionary but I will be updating it periodically through out the year. I have been some research and I have a collection of quotes from prominent artists throughout the history of art. During the next few weeks I will be adding these collection of artists quotes to the art history section. I personally found these quotes interesting and at times inspiring. It was interesting to see how opinions on art changed over the years and an in some cases stayed the same. At times prominent artists in the same era would have contrasting opinions about art which reinforces the subjectivity of art.

I a have done some work on my latest oil painting this past week but I would have liked to have done more. I am at a stage in the painting where I often slow down and run low on inspiration and I need to make more of an effort to complete the painting. Aspiring artists often think that they can only paint when the inspiration strikes them but if I had to always wait for inspiration I would hardly ever complete a painting. Sometimes it takes effort and willpower to sit in front of the canvas but it usually goes much better after a few minutes of work.
