"The value of a work of art depends simply and solely on the height of inspiration, on the greatness of soul of the man who produced it."
-William Merritt Chase
I came across this quote a couple of days ago, and I find that I keep coming back to it. I love the idea that the quality of our work doesn't come merely from our ideas, tastes, and abilities, but from an authentic and humble response to the inspiration we are given.
These are a couple of recent paintings, 24x24 and 18x18 oil on canvas.
