There is nothing that hasn’t already been done. Gimmicks or fads don't make art unique. What makes art unique is your unique personality. How many times have we painted the same scene with other people and each painting is different. Paint and study consistently and your painting will evolve through a series of failures. Stay true to yourself and your style will develop. Paint the essence of a scene and how it makes you feel, and you will realize a lot of problems have been solved.
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; un-rewarded genius is almost a proverb.  Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.  Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” - Calvin Coolidge
Roger Dale Brown is a landscape artist whose paintings capture the landscape and all of it's variety and beauty.
