Morning Quote

“Every artist was at first an amateur.” – Ralph W. Emerson

I wanted to poke my eyes out while reading Emerson in high school. Yes, it was that painful an experience. But I felt like kissing Mr. Emerson when reading a few quotes this morning. As I prepare for my first ever gallery showing (!) I feel like amateur hour times a thousand.

   Thanks for sharing. Artists, even little ones, need encouragement to keep at it.
   I am trying to figure out how to sneak off to your showing while there is a 25th class reunion at my house. :)

   Congrats on the show! Hope it goes well. Your photos are beautiful, though, so of course it’s going to go well. :)
