The Artists Dilemma
"Swim LIke a Duck" - 12" x 12" Acrylic and graphite on Massonite - $200
I have been wanting to get back to were I was when I was doing art full time 13 years ago. But you know what? I don’t think the search ever ends. I can get back to the level I was at, or better – but I hope that when I get there, I am still driven to be better and better.
Aren’t the great artists always searching for the next great breakthrough in their art? I don’t think that for a true artist, that journey ever really ends. Henry Moore, the sculptor said, “There’s no retirement for an artist, it’s your way of living so there’s no end to it.” I think I have to agree Once one has chosen this path, it becomes a way of life, and there really is no end.
I am going to make an effort to live in the moment and follow my bliss. I keep trying to catch up. I need to enjoy where I am.
Going to the studio. I have 1.5 hours until the boys get home. Let’s see what I can come up with today – being in the moment.
