This was/is a good thread.
I woke up this morning, tired from my weekend of hard work getting prints ready for a gallery I'm in so that I could have my week to paint. I was tired and not looking forward to my day, again, of preparing prints, invoices, etc.
After reading all the posts here, I'm inspired and heartwarmed for all of us artists and what we do to paint. We are a unique group in that we do what we love completely. All we do is in support of that or we are just bears.
(I paint bears)
Love to all, tears, joy, compassion, prayers, and most of thanks.
Back to the studio.
