According to my observations - much less . But then again, that is - "Good job " ? Well , let it work - strong in all respects ( suggest its variants) . From the idea , composition ( ie, conceptual ) to execution ( ie, conditionally -psycho- physical energy ) . Outweighs the second , but a masterpiece - it's just when these two aspects are reunited in ecstasy . So . Idea - it should make it as a child , and his hands itch , maybe Mr h. happen again - the picture must be done in a certain number Islands to eat , pure creativity mb hm ... Well, not made ​​public . Further , in physics . Well, can not give all the best artist is always 100 %, your body will not allow the situation is not always possible , life , stars , the channel is closed etc. While the examples of course. Just the other day wondering this . But this exception , the artist has 26 years of brush in hand did not take , well, broken. A pro always err analytics , algebra , patterns are written more than a year , plus if the youth was able to , and old age could , etc.

DSF, I refer to an opinion different from your on all counts, but I will not argue, it is not constructive in this case, you have worked out its own position, using which you structure the surrounding area, giving names to things, and if it brings harmony into your life, why not ...?
Alas, I am not so optimistic about how good profhudozhnikov. IMHO, 90%of artists fail at all in the creative plan, the remaining 10%fail 90%of the works and so on ... eventually come to an established list of artists who can truly be called artists. It's like impressionism - that the Soviet and Russian profhudozhniki his write-write, write, write, but it's worth Tiutchev user to hang a series of Poplars Monet, in one moment, it is clear from hu hu ...
Another thing that artrynok and people live today and bought from the fact that there is what is available and the like. And here all the artists there some place.
As for my time and self-esteem. Neither the first nor the second, I do not have in abundance, life is short, I do not have time ... In addition, there are "physics", which wrote artcol - yes, in order to work, you must come to a working state, recover, go back to thoughts. Yes, most of the work on the painting I've done in my head, but it also requires silence and concentration, surrounded by papers, sketches, books and computers.
Thank you for believing in the artist's commercial success Iksigona! :-)

Successful work for me this is such a work, by which I'm not ashamed to put his signature. Not only that I should not be ashamed to put it there in 20 years.

If we're talking about true professionalism in any field, my interest is correct. Otherwise, what's the difference pros from an amateur? But we, unfortunately, a lot of semi and people frozen in their development, complacency and narcissism. They just do not have enough forces to destroy their work, they love themselves too. They keep any pocherkushku and ready to sell it to anyone.
 
From the memoirs of Vollard Degas: "I remember one of his paintings," Atelier milliners, of which Mademoiselle Kesset told me: "If you could find it! .. I know one American who would pay any price for it. " Once I saw this painting in Degas and repeated his words Mademoiselle Kesset
     Degas: - It is very tempting. With the money I could buy a painting by Delacroix, which has long look, but not decisively, in the things that I do not like something. And he took the brush, he slipped one of these figures. "That's an attitude I call a professional.
 
 I am writing to painting for 25 years. Exactly how much I destroyed since then, I can not say, but it very much. At least until 1997 - every one of which could find. Then I discard about half. Now I am quite an accomplished artist, to prevent more than 10%of marriage, but nobody sees, because if I failed to "pull" the work I did peregruntovyvayu no regrets. Links to what we need to eat, life, star, your body will not allow, etc. - Excuses. Want to be an artist - you have to be ruthless with himself. Art does not tolerate compromise.

     I see , and this is not surprising . You are so far only " heard the sound . " Initially, I liked your energy and activity , but , unfortunately, at this point , this energy does not have the correct vector . You spray on trivia and not notice the main thing. Your creative efficiency is less than a couple percent , so you will not have enough time . You want everything and quickly . You love yourself too . I have seen many artists of your plan , their fate is sad . No , they have money , position, fame, but a longing in his eyes ... You can not change a million ruble . And most importantly : do not strive to impress anyone except himself.

And you can see your work ?

And the closer I approach the van Gogh to this case: drawing and painting, with no discard, but to keep even the most crooked thing. Just forget them and move on. But now we see all his way with all the ups and downs, but that's why he makes such a strong impression and beautiful, like a mighty tree, clinging on the rocks. What could be more interesting?

What's done is done - is your thing, even if it fails, simply works more, try more. A culling, I think, as time and says that the artist is very important to show the public exquisitely perfect. But the artist - more layers, and not the broiler, aimed After working up the fat to be a culinary masterpiece of holiday table.

Anguish in the eyes of the Grey had not noticed, in my opinion, he is possessed with painting and bathe in it with undisguised pleasure. What benefit anyone.

DSF, the problem is that you consider yourself to be true in the last general jurisdiction, and I do not consider myself. You destroy the work, because I think that you understand what's worked and what did not, but I do not understand.
IMHO, the skill is only a tool, this rag, we erase the dust and dirt with some basic ideas and simple truths. But the very truth content of art, we can not change, we are not creating content, it existed before us, there will be after us.
And, in fact, it seems important to me as if the artist would consider himself the Creator, it will create a similarity, EM reproduce my limited experience, and if he will consider himself just a mouthpiece, you might even say something in his personal experience there.
 I've written a couple of times here that try to fight with his mind, it prevents me from writing a good picture, because my mind and my experience is limited. It would seem that crazy idea. But here I bought the two-volume complete collection of Van Gogh and I read it the same thing about Monet, he tried to fight the mind control over their work, tormented by this, I tried to write very quickly, so that the mind could not keep control of every stroke. The same problem studied and Van Gogh. Same problem doing Dzh.Pollok. I understand them.
If you think that the skill is your control over the creation of pictures, you never create a good painting.
This is very serious. This is the basic problem.

P.S. No sadness I have not. What you do not see my size, your problems.
Do not try to draw viewers into its faith, you just have to find other people. Everything has its time and its audience. You know that Ambroise Volar stopped to buy Picasso, because he believed that Picasso has ceased to grow as a painter. Picasso's long hunger strike - found Russian, who began buying the new Picasso.
Those who bought my work in 2009, now do not buy my new work. But there are new buyers who like what I'm doing now. And I know that there are people who will buy my work when I returned back from today's style. No need to obsess, go to the next.

I think so , that the artist Gray -Ixygon set myself a task , a priority is wrong : priority " to be sold " as evidence of the artist 's talent . This prevents the mercenary aspect to develop its growth is normal . Art does not tolerate this kind of fuss . There are many selling artists . Selling paintings selling in the market who found the right chord , and those that love in his pink sunset passers aunts , sells Nikas Safronov , rivet and sell polit.tematiku - zakazuhu oligarchs . This conjunctural and mainstream who are ruining an art form . Looking back at the conjuncture may be a temporary success, but it is not real. Better to paint and then put on the mezzanine . But do not be ashamed to show his son or grandson .

Seen it all the grandchildren ... They are better dividends to " sell " the artist . A mezzanine is not dusty paintings .
And the dead artist posthumous success ( unlikely ) is not needed. This is how to offer Mayakovsky , instead of blouses and swearing in the cafe , the Americas , etc. write to the table - grandchildren will appreciate it.
Grandchildren let yourself something write .
