Description
In response to a rather embarrassing bit of praise by Jim.
Ananda Coomaraswamy is very interesting indeed.

I have altered his quote to be inclusive..he actually said 'man' which doesn't bother me at all but I know some folk are upset easily about stuff.
For those of you who have seen this before I apologise: you can pick yourselves out in the crowd.
This was my department philosophy when I was head of Art at school, and I painted it over the door on the wall.
Graffiti r us.

Thank you so much Andrea. This is a wonderful sentiment. I agree about the idea everyone is a special kind of artist. It just takes some of us longer to find our medium than others. This is the best king of graffiti :)
I haven't seen it before and I think its great.
I totally agree! There is one style of painting I do that anyone almost any age can do and get a great result. I've helped people who think they are not artistic make their own painting with it and they end up amazed and proud. "I did that!?!" Yes, everyone is an artist! Wonderful you've posted this for us all~ =D
I love your people Andrea, they make me chuckle. x
fantastic composition, drawing and text !
belle image!
WONDERFUL work!!!!!!!
Brilliant work
awwww such a wonderful scene! love it
Marvelous, what a talent you have, Andrea. Such quick, such a fantastic image. I read on Jim's gallery you became an idea, now I see what a beauty and clever image your idea was/is.
OHHH GOSH! When you come up with such wonders, they always amaze me and make me sit with a really stupid smile on my face, because I just LUVE, when you do that. THank you for sharing this with us. I adore it. AWESOME STUFF !!!
This is wonderful. I have had many people say to me they are not at all artistic, and I say nonsense, of course they are, all they need to know is how, and taking a class helps with that.
Very beautiful !
Fantastic work and words! :)
Excellent image and words Hugs Susan~
Wonderful post work and words Andrea. God Bless.
WONDERFUL CREATION
A wonderful image and a great saying that is so true. I love all your faces they have great expressions.
I hadn't seen this before; very nice, including the inverted crosses as noses, and not what I consider graffiti.
Thank you so very much for the link - there is sooooooooooo much I don't know as yet? In my family it was frowned upon to be an artist and never furthered, rather subdued and now in my old age, I am learning more than I can ever believe is available - you are a great teacher! BB
never saw this one. i do not see myself. guess i fall down and can't get up lol
Head of Art? So you were in management then! Somehow the idea of that really appeals to me. This is an absolutely charming post. It would make a fabulous greeting card. Thanks for the link.
I have to agree with that sentiment and a wonderful dedi to a wonderful person and artist !!
Wonderful stuff hon and u are right in every way.
Lovely artwork! The best kind of graffiti. I can see where all that doodling started out. Dana
Wonderful graffiti and quotation. Great work and realization Andrea. Thanks for sharing.
And you are special with your own style. :)
I do miss these characters... Creative. Clive
Really nice drawing - and really true words. Karl Valentin (a German comedian in the beginning of the 20th century) said once: "Art is nice, but needs a lot of work"
The use of 'man' as inclusive of all humanity, doesn't bother me either. "No person is an island", just doesn't have the same ring. Wonderful drawing, quote, and information. I love all the variety of people. I like the lady on the right with her head cocked. Beautiful drawing of the plants too.
