A real artist can paint a better picture with a child's watercolor set than I can make with all the lastest gizmos.
A different thought I just had:
A real artist can paint better pictures with his paint colours than a child can do with its water colours.
But there is a difference between both pictures:
If you look at pictures painted by children, there is something
more in it.
To say the artists' pictures are "more professional" and "more streamlined" doesn't hit it.
It's rather that pictures painted by children contain more
life than pictures painted by "real artists".
And with "more life" I mean something you just have to see ... It's the mixture of all things into a unique composition ... Colours, shapes, emotions ...
I know an artist from another forum. she paints like a child. Her pictures look as if her "inner child" was painting, not she herself.
She has won two scholarships (is that the right word ?) for her works, and she recently sold her pictures at one of Germany's most renowed and exclusive galleries ... But her pictures still look to me as if they had been painted by a child.
She is unique in any way. I have never ever in my whoile life seen such a person, a person like her, where her inner child and her inner adult are in perfect balance ... all of her creativity comes from her inner child, so it seems to me, but when speaking to her, she shows an unexpected depth of wisdom.
What she does is not what most people would call "art". What she does might look to most people as "childish".
But there is something in her words and in her paintings, that is: "More life".
