Art Every Day Month Day 21 - Art Movies

Last night was the first time that I sat in my new studio and I loved it. I still have to have a big sort out and get the storage sorted but that can wait for another day....I'm just going to sit and think today!

My Youtube clip of the day is French and Saunders - Art Critic

My card for the day was Retreat (perfect card for the day)

it said..Spend time alone in quite thought. Clear your mind, and focus on your truth and priories. Are you pushing yourself to hard? The angels remind us that rest is a natural cycle in everything. Think of the mighty oak tree that grows in spurts and then rests. It draws nourishment from deep within the earth and takes time before growing upward again. It is important for you to nourish yourself with spiritual and emotional food. While you are resting, take time to reflect on your true hearts desires. Desire to make a difference in the world.

Art Every Day Month Day 9 - Numbers

11 RULES FOR LIFE ONE - Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO - Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE - Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One

I had to share this article with you today, if I wrote something like this it would sound just the same... I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One by Christopher Fife. "Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly. Since I dedicated forty-plus hours a week to my corporate graphic design job, I was lucky if I painted a couple of hours a week. I came to despise myself for this self-deceit, for my inability to embrace what I really wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist. So I committed myself to becoming one.
