What are we looking for? One learns a craft and with experience, talent and luck becomes an artist.
What distinguishes a Picasso from a Monet?
Which bonsai turn me on? The ones that I enjoy. The ones that facinate me. The ones that get my attention and affect me emotionally.
If we are not all artists of some degree, than what are we lacking? Another head to put on our own to tell us what to really do with our creations?
Our creations are what they should be at any given time. What are we to chase after? Someone elses ideas or feelings?
Excuse my French here. To the artist, art is like shitting, pissing, eating and sleeping as needed.
That's all one needs to know. The rest is a secret. Don't be decieved! The rules are there- don't worry about the rules. The rules aren't worried about you.
