Quoth the Artist


Artists get guidance from other artists. Often this is visual, a borrowed technique or subject matter. Sometimes it is just inspirational. Words of our predecessors or contemporaries can spur ideas and creation. July's Artist X chalked out a quote by the one and only Pablo Picasso on her studio wall: "I am always doing things I can't do. That is how I get to do them". Check out the funky/slightly scary/Japanese anime-esque painting resting below!


Speaking of Sir Pablo, if you happen to be traveling to the Bay Area between now and October 9th you MUST go to the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park see the current temporary exhibition of some of his treasures on loan from the Musee D'Orsay in Paris. Send me a postcard!
