“Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightening to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself.” Chuck Close
Thursday is here and the work is coming along. I have strong hopes that as the year progresses you are able to see the work you are creating as an important part of all that you do. Some of you, making art is essential to your day, for some of you it is an hour in the day. Let’s make it worth your while and essential to your day! Mr. Korb
