“I cannot help it if my paintings do not sell. But the time will come when people realise that they are worth more than the cost of the paint”

"We all know that there are only a damn few artists (and I will wager that like me, you're not one either) who know that they will quickly sell whatever they produce.  The rest of us?  We soldier on.  Look, painting is hard enough without worrying about someone else's opinion of your status as an artist.  It shouldn't make a damn bit of difference whether you are rich or starving.  The only thing I personally care about is making the best painting I can produce.  It isn't what I do for a living-- It's what I do for life." ~Kevin Mizner

"Let us be honest with ourselves concerning consumer attitudes toward buying art. The average consumer is content with the Vincent van Gogh poster in his or her living room – OR the mass-produced Thomas Kinkade print displayed prominently in the hall. The average consumer does not see the value of original art – or how owning original art will enrich his or her life. If YOU want to change the way that consumers think about owning original art... you need to be part of the solution. You need to take original art seriously (not just your own art). YOU need to buy original art from others."
