The thing about art is that life is in no danger of being meaningless.
In painting you cover up your sins and everyone thinks you're naturally talented.
Never forget that the nurturing and preservation of your own muse is job one. Lose it and you may be losing a great deal.
The only bad studio is the unused one.
So who are we going to blame for our disappointments and our failures?
No matter what your disciplines, you need your own personal lists.
