Joe Pearce Quotes:

" It's hard to forgive yourself when you're constantly reminded of your sin."

 "Art is being. Being is art."  

"Sometimes, the artist leads the painting.  Most times, the painting leads the artist."

"Sometimes, one does not make a decision; a decision makes him/her"

"When something presses your button, press back."

"Never insult another's passion in any way, shape, or form."

 "Painting helps me to not think.  That is good."   

 "The Bible says, 'If you don't work you don't eat.'  That means, 'if you work, you will eat.' I work hard on my art.  I trust I will not be a starving artist."

  "Painting, much like life, can be very messy.  Painting, much like life, can be very beautiful.   Painting, much like life, takes a lot of work to get from the messy to the beautiful.  Work it out.   Don't stop.  Create a masterpiece."

 "If I'm going to ride a roller coaster, I want to ride a fun one."

 "Give life your hand. You'll be surprised where it takes you."

 "Everyone should read Robert Henri's The Art Spirit."

 "You may ask 'how do I get there from here?'  I ask you, 'how did you get here from there?'"

 "When you feel exhausted: mentally, physically, emotionally; when your doubts outweigh your faith and hope; when your gut feels punched...dig in, stand up, push forward, and be victorious!  Yes you!"

 "Be very wary of juried art shows that hard sell you on paying a fee.  Consider that Van Gogh, Cezanne, and others were turned down by their arrogant art communities.  Arrogant art communities still exist." 

 "If people, including myself, can get over themselves, things will be abundantly better. 

 "To those men who, like me, were taught to not cry in public, go cry in private. Cry and cry and cry again. It is good for your soul...and also for your eyes."

"What do you need? You need supportive friends who will listen to you, laugh with you, cry with you, and not judge you. When you find them, you have found life." 

"The only way to knock down a wall is to run into it over and over again."

"Success doesn't worry about the obstacle."

"Believe in the best and the best will believe in you."

"I've never done anything conventionally. Why start now?"

"A mess is a masterpiece in its early stages"

"Keep biding your time. Keep working hard on your goal. Neglect doubt. Keep focused. Don't get discouraged. Have faith--the substance of things hoped for--then, out of the blue, IT WILL happen. I've seen it my entire life".

"To create a painting is to plow through obstacles."

"Home is where you can fling paint at a canvas and blow charcoal from a sketchbook and not be concerned about a landlord."
