Dream And Seek

kortini has added a photo to the pool:

“Work freely and passionately, you will make progress sooner or later if you have any worth they will recognize it. Above all don’t sweat over a canvas; a great emotion can be translated instantly, dream about it and seek for it the simplest form.”
— Paul Gaugin

I've had such a weird relationship with myself and my photography over the last year. I think I am about ready to snap out it.

It is unfortunate when the things you love to do suffer when life happens. Luckily, I've made it to art school and can start studying the things I enjoy most. I feel pretty fortunate that my hard work and patience have finally gotten me here.

This quote really got to me when I was studying for my art history class the other night. Even though painting is a different medium, I definitely feel that this can apply to all artists struggling to master their art and getting some sort of recognition while doing so.
