The full text, supposedly, from the above quote -"What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit:
Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting,
sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or
badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find
out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow."
I have always been the most least artistic person around. No talent for drawing or painting or anything like that. My Father is a very talented artist, and The Mister is pretty good at it too, and he comes from it honestly - his Grandmother was a very accomplished painter. Talent all around me! We've been trying to encourage The Boy to work on his art skills lately, just for fun.
And I've been working on mine too.
I've taken 2 "Paint Night" classes in the past couple of months, one with My Boo (my BFF) and one with The Mister, and while I will not be showing you my work here, it was pretty fun,
and I was pleased with my work. From me.
It's made me want to play more, try some painting with watercolors, and My Boo and I are contemplating trying our hand at pottery too, and I'm a little excited about it.
