I know where mine come from, do you know where yours came from? and when!

This is were mine came from..........

June 1993, Went to buy a print in an framing / Art shop for my new home in Olney Buckinghamshire, came out with a Canvas, watercolour brushes and oil paint and a small book on Vincent Van Gogh.

Copied Straw Hat.

September 1993 sold my first ever painting that I had ever of Van Gogh in straw hat in eight minutes for £180.00 a weeks wage back then.

'Remember thinking "God that was easy" but never gave my night job up!

The lady that bought it had no idea who it was, she said it looked just like her husband and it now sits in her hallway.

Her husband is the Manager of the photo copier company XEROX.

It inspired me to keep painting.

Until walking in the print shop, I had never thought about art at all.

Painted on and off till 1997.

Dropped my brushes in 1997 due to a curator pissing me off at a open exhibition, also the coverage of Marcus Harvey's Myra Hindley portrait made up of children's hand prints, I Totally went against art and all it stood for.

I never intended to paint again.

December 2006, Picked up my brushes once again as I Lost my partner in an accident and turned to my art for Mental stability and inner light/peace rather than medication.

April the 14th 2008, I Opened my own Art Gallery and showed my entire collection of 200 art works in seven Gallery rooms.

It was always my life Dream / ambition to show my work for the 1st time in my own Gallery.

December 28th 2006- 27th September 2008 Painted over 180 paintings, and 1000's of Photographs.

2008 Created three On-Line Networks for the Art Communities to Network for Free and meet and greet each other, pulling the Art Network CLOSER TOGETHER AS ONE.

My Theory on Art is that Art is a Magnetic Force from out ta space, IT IS AN ENERGY that finds our Frontal Cortex and it then is turned in to Thought.

My Theory what 'WE' call 'Art' has a different name altogether, I call it a Magnetic Moment.

My work is not Art, well it is to all you Arty people.

My work is a Magnetic Moment, Magnetic Energy.

I would call it a frustrated energy, but it is never a negative energy as I refuse to paint when I am down.

Hey but what do I know? I never went to school, I'm just a Natural Philosopher.

Comment by dawn hilton on September 28, 2008 at 1:20pm: t has been left to a court in Germany to decide whether or not a work apparently by Jörg Immendorff—but probably signed by the artist—is or is not a fake. But to define “fake art”, we have to first define “art”. Of course the word was invented well before Duchamp opened Pandora’s Box. Before, that is, he decreed that the term included found objects, that art need involve only the artist’s choice, not his hand—that the idea is the art. Now that can be true if the idea is profound enough, or the object beautiful enough. But again it might just not be art even if the artist says it is.

Comment by dawn hilton on September 28, 2008 at 1:17pm: Hi Ave, I personally feel that the energy leaves 'US' all for personal reasons and returns when 'WE' have the right Energy FORMULA.

It left me for 7 years once, only to find me again, we can only create when we feel at peace with our energy and feel it the way it demands us to feel it.

Glad to hear your feeling the energy.x

Comment by AveHurley on September 28, 2008 at 11:59am: Hi Dawn~ Thanks for the invite! Wish you continuing success with your Magnetic energy~! My 'batteries' have been low lately, i have been working with my printing more than painting....and listing on ebay and other places with my ACEO's.. but getting ready to pick up my brush any day now, just waiting for the flow to begin.... :)Ave

Art and Civilization are twins.
Those humans who try to express Culture are named Artists ; some of them do it with feeling and emotion, some others do it for money.
