Well in my more than 20 years as an artist ...
What i can say of what i'v seen , and iv seen alot but always little :


Art in overall is more complex that whatever one could explain or study or just know at ...

Good art is therefore Indescribable ...

You can feel it and say its meanings by your and others feelings ...
And therefore you will see if that " Transmission medium is good" if they connect or not ...

And thats all...

---

More than that and on a overall :

You only know what is good art - when you die for it . Or after a whole live given for art you are about to die and you look below all lived and seen and you look beyond in what you should , and you ask yourself with that whoole live experience - What should i been more - am i Satisfied About my art - but most important - I'm i satisfied with my path as a artist ?

Well the answer is Never .

So art is NEVER GOOD ENOUGH .
Because GOOD ART is always EVOLVING and taking new definitions and taking new directions and expanding as the universe itself .

And that is what makes a good artist as well.
The always evolving and Always expanding of your own ARtistical Universe ....

Being a Good artist is taking with all devotion All your life for it .

There is no Good artists or better of all living ones. But only Already death ones were good or not because of one thing, art is always evolving , and therefore all about your efforts , how much you give yourself or not in order to go beyond your own limits and achieve what otherwise less evoluted you would not ...

Art is the first base of Evolution Itself ...

But is also the Faith .

the
EFFORTS

AND the NEVER QUITTING

Of IMPROVEMENTS

And LIVING ITS WHOLE LIVE

Just CEntered and FOR its ART .

That Along With deep scientist artistic on all kinds of indescribable involvement of all ways and fields on the quest for self and exterior knowledge of all things - tru a whole life ... makes good art be produced.

And that even on people that are not good artists at all...
Efforts change what is possible or not in artists and art.

So therefore good art is in all ways effort.

But That in all ways efforts for the production of good art.
Makes not just a Good Artist / But especially a Good Artistic Producer with time Also .

There is no Good art If you cant PRODUCE On your own in your own projects ...

Same as Art is not about the money , or about WORKING FOR OTHER ...

Because art is Freedom , art is VISION ...
Art is a thing that you only can have it and That YOU only can output out of your feelings out of your devotion ...

And out of the bridges you make to reach further horizons ...

Are those connections with all everyone and everything that surround you in that quest to reach that "Goal" "that horizon" "that project" Were you put your art and your devotion in .. that will make you reach further or not within your artistically projects within your live ...

Every single Oil Painting is a "Project"
And every "project" is made of sketches and placement which are the base core of its driving reactions that bring its development ...

And in every single "Good Artistic Production" Good and bad art fits in ...

SO it all NOT ends about if you have Good arts and you are good artist or not .

But have you Good projects YOURS Were you are working all out with your ARt Having other jobs or not everyday 8 hours out for a better & brighter future for your art within your live ?

There is no good Art Without a good Production To be Inserted in.

Same way that a Good Production Cannot be good without Good ART.

Same way that Good Art is only defined by the deep Analysis of what is BAD art .

And what you should avoid on lack of efforts / and search for more in your everyday effort evolution ...

But evolution itself not goes anywhere without Projectual faith and what therefore your Destiny - that you do every moment choices to be further or closer of what you want or not so or not Strongly enough ...


SO your destiny of all your art is all about the projects you choose to be in...

And more especially about your own projects you choose to do with your own art .

Art and Productional Projectation come very bounded.

Be good or not. Art Has to have a GOAL . To be considered good enough worldwide .
And tru the years or reckless not quitting ever ... and be there everyday And search for others be there with you. Yu can find a goal in "your own production" And your own project ...

Art is not about OTHERS PROJECTS You get the lucky to be commissioned / because you do splashy quality fancy stuffs that people envy to have in their production ...

Good art is Basically the opposite of that :

No one will ever pay you enouph to do GOOD ART .

And in that way GOOD ART.
IS about YOUR Good PROJECTS that yu undertake were yu give everything of yourself - even without money payment - Especially because a good artist - never Rushes its Masterpiece - were even if he dies right after and because of it ...

There it will be satisfied because he done is next greatest effort for the evolution of its art .



Art is all about "your project" And your project is all about "your universe" And have Goal for it on how to be achieving within tru your art somehow.

Then is all about Deep study , and being deep passionate , with the kind of love that even if you lost everything - you still have Your ART The thing that makes you Greater More than just a Human you turn your self in the mirror of a "the Creator" "Inside".

There is no Love without Efforts and self giving your whole ...
And thats the thing you need to love and do not just Great Art, But Great Artistical productional Works ...
.. out of your universe that is only yours and you have it inside - to share and interact with other universes around you ...

And is that share and that interaction that makes The bridge between universes ...

And is THAT BRIDGE between artistically universes That makes the knowledge and enthusiasm that you never have enough just on your own and pure love efforts faith and devotion that only you can make , not just good , but always evolving art ...

In this site you are actually experiencing a greater part of the power of the Force that brings that kind of Bridges between artistically universes that can touch your soul clean and perfect you up and make you shine .

In my opinion, a good artist can either experiment or stick to one thing. I think the most important thing is that they:

1. Have several beautiful/thought-provoking pieces of art

2. Can defend their reasons for making lesser-quality pieces.

My two pence. Probably not worth much :P

I liked that second one. Sometimes something a bit less detailed or conceptually strong can be more appealing :)
