The Eyes and Souls of Artists

"The artist must not only train his eye but also his soul." -Wassily Kandinsky. 


This is also true: "The artist must not only train her eye but also her soul."


Creativity is spiritual practice. Like any meditation, it shows us our stuff. No escape. 


"Develop a working relationship with that stunning, bewildering, driving source of mad desire and infinite depth: the world itself whispering lovely things to you constantly." - MC Escher


"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own: but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude " - Emerson


"Half of what you know today will be obsolete in five years. That prospect should fill you with excitement." - Vimala Blavatsky
