Harley Brown’s fascinating things no one else will tell you
Early in my career, I remember once in a while having a sinking feeling. Yet, always in my mind, I kept steady strokes while looking to the shore. The idea was to continue paddling, stay afloat with an agile will. My continual foundation to this day: “doing…learning.”
Anxiety would happen and my art was momentarily put aside. Thankfully, eventually I started to understand my creative needs and the courage and strength of moving ahead. Stroke by stroke. Time and experience are such great teachers.
We survive in the art world by finally knowing ourselves and our strengths. As I’ve said many times, keep steady with eyes on the shore. In the art world, steady gives strength.
Such a Thing as Perfection?
There are people, moments and things in life that just seem right. Films I’ve watched near perfect from beginning to end. A sculpture having the right balance, drama, form, aura. We can observe a complex painting composed with many people, water, animals, boats, clouds. Immediate BRAVO!
What I’ve learned in art: minor flaws are part of the “perfection” we’re after. We realize humans are wonderfully and thankfully not perfect. A “masterpiece” has the brilliance only an imperfect uniqueness can bestow.
Let me add that what may be imperfect to some is just right to others. Ah yes, that does add to life’s wondrous entanglements.
