Oil painting by Caravaggio titled "Rest on the Flight into Egypt"

All works, no matter what or by whom painted, are nothing but bagatelles and childish trifles... unless they are made and painted from life, and there can be nothing... better than to follow nature.

- Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio

Eugène Delacroix – Liberty Leading the People, 1830

Authorities are the ruination of great talents, and form almost the entire talent of mediocrities. They are the leading strings with which everyone learns to walk at the beginning of their careers, but they almost always leave a permanent mark.

- Eugene Delacroix

Composition by Wassily Kandinsky titled Murnau - A village street

Everything that is dead, quivers. Not only the things of poetry, stars, moon, wood, flowers, but even a white trouser button glittering out of a puddle in the street… Everything has a secret soul, which is silent more often than it speaks.

- Wassily Kandinsky

…and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?

- Vincent van Gogh

whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.
- Andy Warhol

That sucks. I am an artist myself and it's tough out there. Have you thought about selling your art through any online marketplaces?
