Morning Leaders – Refresh
Morning Leaders. With all the pressures of business and my responsibilities, I find the need to balance my life with my artistic sensibilities. It is expressing myself through my writing, photography, and video work that I find refreshment from discouragement, anxiety, and worry.
What refreshes you?
Morning Leaders – Art of Love
Morning Leaders. “The art of love is largely the art of persistence.” – Albert Ellis
Morning Artist – Artisans?
Morning Artist. “While the authority of the doctor or plumber is never questioned, everyone deems himself a good judge and an adequate arbiter of what a work of art should be and how it should be done.” – Mark Rothko
Morning Artist – Wash On
Morning Artist. “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” – Pablo Picasso // #KeepWashing

Morning Leaders – Hang On For Dear Life
Morning Leaders. “On a final note, for any of you pursuing something that you feel deeply, something you know you need to do in order to be truly alive, something that requires every iota of courage you can muster, something that makes you at times forget there is a clock meticulously ticking, something that requires you to risk losing everything familiar, something that excites you so thoroughly that it sometimes becomes impossible to sleep, know that it will make perfect sense to quit hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times along the way and get on with something else. Know that you will certain days be numb and exhausted and joyless. Know that perseverance is infinitely greater than talent. Refine the work. Hone the work. Mercilessly cut away the parts that are not vital. Then let your growing body of work speak for itself. And hang on for dear life.” — Linford Detweiler, “Over the Rhine”
Morning Leaders – Degas
Morning Artist. “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” – Edgar Degas
Morning Artists – Art
