About Me

i paint. i just want to paint. but sometimes i cant paint. sometimes i try to write. but mostly... i paint.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"I consciously choose the dog's path through life. I shall be poor; I shall be a painter..." --v. van gogh"the sadness will last forever." --vincent van gogh's final words."The truly modern artist is aware of abstraction in an emotion of beauty." --piet mondrian"To approach the spiritual in art, one will make as little use as possible of reality, because reality is opposed to the spiritual." --piet mondrian“It is because he is a romantic, and he has a picture of the world in his head, and when the world doesn’t conform in any respect to the picture, he wants to throw the world away."--robert penn warren"A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession." --albert camus
