Bogging Down
Even though I played with paper marbling yesterday with my friend Marty and her grandchildren, Sara and Jake, I haven't REALLY done anything creative in quite a while. I'm both getting antsy AND less creative because of it. I suppose I've been doing research, looking for folk art animals on the web and signing up for a web class. I take a mini-workshop in portrait painting at the Kentucky Watercolor Society on this Friday and Saturday, maybe that will help.

The blog I read right after reading yours contained this quote. Looks to me

“The best thing for being sad is to learn something. That is the only thing
that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you

miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil
lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.
There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags
and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can neve r exhaust,
never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never
dream of regretting.”
