Passion , Obsession,Compelling Addiction

Art has the power to make you think, elevate your emotions, and transport you through time and space.

The word passion comes from the Latin patior, meaning to suffer or to endure. These days, losing its uncomfortable roots, passion is a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion toward a subject, idea, person or object.

Here's how to get it: Revisit and repossess your core dreams and fantasies. Consider your dreams to be private, unique and sacred.Indulge them.

 Get help from and watch the actions of the already passionate those possessed like me. Indulge, honour and live in your own imagination. Don't talk about it, do it.
“Big, deep planning is a glamorous way of procrastinating.”

Quality is a habit.

"Art should take what is complex and render it simply,
Every painting problem comes down to four visual elements: shape, value, color and edges."

Quality is not an act, it is a habit." (Aristotle)
