I cannot solve the problem of life by losing myself in the problem of art. (Tina Modotti)
At no point do I wish to be in conflict with any man or masculine thought. It doesn't enter my consciousness. Art is anonymous. It's not competitive with men. It's a complementary contribution. (Barbara Hepworth)
Like Chekhov, I am a collector of souls... if I hadn't been an artist, I could have been a psychiatrist. (Alice Neel)

these are great quotes! doesn't Alice look positively regal in that photo?!!!
Alice Neel was very strong...She surmounted many personal hardships yet she still grew into this great artist...I would say that you are right she was very REGAL:)
What a great comment from Barbra Hepworth. There is no need for conflict. You make your opposition obsolete, immaterial and irrevalent therefore there is no need for conflict. You are not "in opposition to" anything - ever.
You seem to have an appreciation for art.
You might also then be able to appreciate this information I have to share with you.
Dr. Mark Taylor, of Atlanta Live Media, is auctioning a 75 piece, 100 year old, family collection of pencil and ink drawings by artist Charles S. Gibson (1892-1973) not to be confused with Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944), who created the Gibson Girl. They are really nice pieces of artwork.
I REALLY wish I could embed the pictures in this post for you. This is all pen & ink drawings and some of the structures are very impressive.
There are also some pretty impressive muscle drawings in this collection - of the face, arms, legs, etc.
So if you are interested, check it out. Who knows, it might inspire you :)
