Have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it.” Salvador Dali  

Well, as I upload these photos, I am once again deeply impressed by the work of all my students!  Several of you have requested the quote that I read to you regarding perfectionism.  You will find that quote after the last photo.

Being a perfectionist is not about being the best we can be, it is actually going about to prove that nothing we ever do is ‘good enough’.  It is listening to the voice from within or (maybe a voice from the past) that says, “You’re doing it all wrong.  So, you do it over and over again until you ‘get it right’ and ultimately, you never do and thus you are never satisfied.  You have only proven that nothing you ever do is good enough. - author not sure

Striving for excellence is about putting our hand to something, with all our human limitations we press on, we grow.  Striving for excellence in art is about expressing yourself using your God given talent, having fun while doing it, and discovering how to be able to put the brush down after your last stroke, exhale, and smile while saying, “It is finished”. - Jill Saur

"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." - Aristotle

Happy New Year to all of my wonderful students, both former and new!  I found this quote interesting.  It seems as though when a person is learning to draw, the aim is to represent what they are seeing.  But, as time goes by and comfort with the pencil or brush settles in, the beauty of being able to represent the inner significance of what is being rendered begins to take over!  

Here is the first set of new photos of work that my students have recently completed.  I'll post the next set in a day or so.
