......I wish I had written.
Even before I have finished it I have had an epiphany......
I realize even the 'great artists' weren't always great.
They had bad days, bad paintings/sketches/ideas......
They erased!
They had dark days, they threw away bad paintings/writings.....
They questioned themselves.....
Their sketchbooks weren't full of wonderful things......
And now I realize this isn't even NEWS!!!
Everyone comes to know this.....but in their own time.
I have been lamenting of late that I keep seeing the same things over and over out there in 'the real world'.
Nothing is new.
And then I realized nothing is ever new.
It's just that there is always a new generation and to them it IS new.
I suppose I come to this realization a bit late.....and most of you have already figured it all out but I find it comforting.
And in that comfort I find a new calmness.
I didn't mean to go all touchy feely on you.....but I did want to recommend the book!
I enjoyed his other books Steal Like an Artist. I think I'll check this book out, too.
