New Crush

 I have a new guy to stalk—Jeremy Lipking.

This quote can be found on his video and I like it also. 

All any man can do, is add his fragment to the whole.No man can be final, but he can record his progress…What he leaves is so much for others to use as stones to step on,
or stones to avoid.
After all, the goal is not making art. It is living a life.
Those who live their lives will leave the stuff that is really art.

-Robert Henri, The Art Spirit

Wow right? I will paint like him someday, if not I’ll kill myself…or maybe I’ll just meet up with him and cut his hand, whichever is less of a hassle. LOL. He’s only 30 years old, I only have 6 years to achieve this kind of work. I must start now.

I’m in a hunt for new oil painters to fuel my drive. Hmm, this oil painting thing is turning out to be an obsession. Is this healthy? Yep, it is! I’ve never been so driven, thank God for this motivation, I feel so frustrated but alive. =)
