I don't want to seem pedantic or high-flowing, but just remember now one of my favorite quotes about art, which is from Rilke, I copy and paste it for you in english and german. Hope you enjoy it, good night!
"There is here no measuring with time, no year matters, and ten years are nothing. Being an artist means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force its sap and stands confident in the storms of spring without the fear that after them may come no summer."
„Da gibt es kein Messen mit der Zeit, da gilt kein Jahr, und zehn Jahre sind nichts, Künstler sein heißt: nicht rechnen und zählen; reifen wie der Baum, der seine Säfte nicht drängt und getrost in den Stürmen des Frühlings steht ohne die Angst, dass dahinter kein Sommer kommen könnte.
OH. MY. GOD!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I could sit and watch this all day long. You are quite prolific! I am always amazed when artists can just draw and paint without reference images. My personal favorite is the "Do I dare?" one where a kitty follows the girl with a guitar case. xox
This is so beautiful, I remember when someone put it at Silly 3, I think I will also hang it in my blog, if you don't mind :)
