I've started writing an artist's diary at Wordpress on a routine basis where I try to discover what art is all about!
You can encounter advice like this:
If you’re an artist, you need never leave childhood behind.
Or this:
Once you decide it’s going to be orange, there’s just no turning back.
Sound fun? Find out more at http://alethakuschan.wordpress.com/

Allowing abstraction all its worth, art should not be just abstract without purpose. In giving up the subject with all its resonance, all its meaning, its possibilities for symbolism and connotation, we give up enormous expressive potential. Abstraction needs to heft something true, something of real value, something powerful, needs great beauty or gravitas to compensate adequately for all that it takes away. The non-representation of things simply cannot compete with incident and emotion, and all its attendant capacity to needle and beguile.
