The most important thing an artist needs is strength
The strength to listen to your own voice
The strength to paint your house blue when all others say it should be red
The strength to get up in the morning after a night of being chastised for listening to your own voice
The strength to still listen to your own voice when there are no rewards only disappointments
The strength to still create when you know no one will put any value on it
The strength to forge ahead when you are an unaccepted resented outsider
The strength to sit and re think and re calculate every move in order to breath life into your child
The classical world is like a giant oil tanker
It takes so long to turn or move
The problem is when it does turn, you are not around
How I envy the commercial artist
I should have done that, it would have been an easy a nice life
But no !!
I had to have the stupidity, and ego to listen to my own voice
The stupidity and nativity to try to create to try to get the best out of myself
God bless those that can live in a the world and be at peace with themselves
