Ok, so that’s not the most profound thing ever said….….…..but here is the point:
We all love to collect and have all the ‘things’. Artists are no exception. Our supplies are sometimes not only hoarded but also kept as precious materials.
Confession: I still have a set of Windsor & Newton grey scale charcoals my mom bought for me decades ago because I knew they were pricey and wanted to use them for something ‘special’. It never happened.
After so many years of pursuing ‘sensible’ goals I am at a place where if I do not ‘at least once run from sensible advice’ I will go mad.
I’m approaching my mid-fifties. The way I see it, if all goes well I have a loooong time to go before I’m ‘done’. When an opportunity to do that ‘not sensible thing’ arose, I grabbed it.
