Art Exhibition & Competition Prospectus

Theme:  ALL Paintings

"There is no such thing as having a block. You just have to get into your art space and move the paint. Even if it is ugly paint, you just have to keep moving it. Once the aroma penetrates your pores and the texture encapsulates your senses - your ugly paint will turn into something beautiful and uniquely you.   So my dear, get back to your studio and move the paint." 
--Richard R. Hawkshawe, Abstractionist Painter (1922 to 1989)
