1000th Painting!

Today a artist friend posted her 1000th Painting! Carol Marine, a painter in Texas, has been painting and posting her work for a long while.

In Art & Fear, there is a wonderful passage. A pottery class is divided into w parts. Half the students are charged with making as many pots as they can; the more pots- the better the grade. The other half is asked to make only one pot but it should be perfect. At the end of the term, it turns out the pots made by those who went for quantity - turned out the most exquisite pots of all! They learned from their trial, error and experimentation. So....

...Enjoy the process --and good things will come. You can see Carol's 6x6" 1000th gem at http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/
Happy Painting
