Art the Final Frontier


"Moon Sketch", copyright KKM,2010

I have been an artist for a very long time. From time to time I find myself being pulled into this pondering about what makes "good" art? There seems to be a "belief" out-there that in order for art to be "good" it must be lofty, complex and communicate on a level that is beyond...something?

Humm...not so much for me.

Quite the opposite in fact.

If I can "get out of my own way", that is, eliminate all the complexity and external and internal pressure to produce then my work happens easily and communicates freely.

Is it "good" art?

Doesn't matter really.

Does it communicate?

If so-I'm there.
