If.
If i can paint all day there will be something to look at.
If i paint in my mind and am mining a thought or concept, i can paint for days with nothing to look at.
If i start with words on a page to draw my thoughts out and link them together, saves time and days.
If i sketch all day for a painting study, i can draw for days until i arrive at the finished sketch.
If i want to have an impact on the audience, i have to give them something to come away with. --Thomas Hart Benton
If i want to create a memorable image, time must be sacrificed to birth a great work.
I find myself a wealthy man when i paint all day, and no money is in my hand.

- Dale Glasgow Artistic Influences: As a young artist and painter, I was influenced by the Hudson River School painters from the 1800s; Church, Cole, Cropsey, Durand, Turner. Their work still inspires my landscapes in their artistic depth of creation's beauty and grandeur. Christian painters for their strength of dynamic imagery, science and intelligence, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Botticello, Gaddi, Fra Angelico, Lippi. Pre-computers, the USA Today School of info graphics, led by Richard Curtis and George Rorick, influenced my early work through Nigel Holmes of Time Magazine. Post-computers, the WPA artists of the Mid 20th century are a strong influence in my vector work today with their fluid lines, strong lighting, shadows and dimensionality, Hart, Hopper, Wood. Nigel Holmes for his wit of displaying information creatively; Mark English was a 1970s illustrator with multilayered imagery-- I favored in my early illustration work.
