Moving forward while standing still




BAD! Kitty Art Studio

Quote and music that moves me this morning...

***

A story is told that Whistler once painted a tiny picture of a spray of roses. The artistry involved in the picture was magnificent. Never before, it seemed, had the art of man been able to execute quite so deftly a reproduction of the art of nature. The picture was the envy of the artists who saw it, the despair of the collectors who yearned to buy it. But Whistler refused steadfastly to sell it. "For," he said, "whenever I feel that my hand has lost its cunning, whenever I doubt my ability, I look at the little picture of the spray of roses, and say to myself, 'Whistler, you painted that. Your hand drew it. Your imagination conceived the colors. Your skill put the roses on the canvas.'
Then, said he,
"I know that what I have done, I can do again"

***

Here's to the adventure of

"do it again"!

Hope your day is

filled with

treasure hunting.
I am back at work in the studio...another long day ahead
and I am happy to have it.
Living large and in the moment...
Heather
