SOME WISE WORDS...

the man who can see all creatures in himself and himself in all creatures, knows no sorrow.

A GOOD ARTIST IS SIMPLY A MAN WHO APPREHENDS AND SUBMITS TO THE WILL OF GOD FOR THE WORK. ERIC GILL

DISCOURAGEMENT, IF WE ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE DISCOURAGED, IS ALWAYS A SIGN OF PROGRESS; EVERY TIME WE ARE DISCOURAGED, IT MEANS THAT WE HAVE CAUGHT FRESH GLIMPSES OF THE BEAUTY OF NATURE. LET THAT BE A CONSOLATION TO YOU AND, ON THE OTHER HAND, BE WARY OF SATISFACTION.
THE ARTIST WHO IS SATISFIED WITH HIS WORK IS, ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING, NEARING HIS END.... E.LANTERI

........IN MOST CASES AN ARTIST WILL START HIS LIFE BY SEEKING CLIENTS. HIS CLIENTS ARE HIS MONEY, BUT THEY ARE MUCH MORE THAN THAT; THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WITH IDEAS. MANY ARTISTS OR CRAFTSMEN FORGET THIS OR REMAIN BLIND TO THE FACT. THE CLIENT IS AT LEAST A STARTING POINT AND OFTEN MUCH MORE. HE KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS AND COMES TO YOU BECAUSE HE CANNOT MAKE IT. THIS CAN BE A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE FOR THE ARTIST CRAFTSMAN WHO THINKS HE KNOWS BEST, BUT LUCKY IS THE ARTIST WHO LIKES HIS CLIENTS AND IS PREPARED TO LISTEN TO THEM; FOR THEY GUIDE HIM ALONG PATHS HE WOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN WITHOUT THEIR HELP. - DAVID KINDERSLEY
