Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Your first task is not to figure out what \u201cart\u201d means, or to have an exhibit, write a book, or get business cards that say \u201cartist\u201d on them. It\u2019s to be (and to become) you. . . . \u201cYou” is not something you look for, or find, but something you own. I don\u2019t mean you possess it, but that you accept it, without apology for the rough edges and the ways in which you don\u2019t match the template, or how the squishy bits overflow the mold into which you feel we should all fit. The best artists in history, and by this I mean those who made art with their lives, on canvases of many different kinds, share only one thing: they were boldly themselves and no one else. Monet, Picasso, and Warhol asked no one for permission to follow their whim, their muse, their own voice.<\/em>” — David DuChemin<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to do stuff that average people don\u2019t understand because those are the only good things.<\/em>\u201d — Andy Warhol<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s essential that we make new mistakes. We don\u2019t make nearly enough of them. Not enough original effort, not enough generous intent, not enough daring in search of something better.
\n But at the same time, we need to stop making the old mistakes again and again. What did you expect to happen when you did the very same thing that didn\u2019t work last time?
\n For some of us, it\u2019s more frightening to do something new than it is to retry something that failed.<\/em>” — Seth Godin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Images this week were taken from the Black Marsh Trail at North Point State Park. Chow down time: a Little blue heron eating an immature bullfrog. Note the remaining tadpole tail. Also a eastern forktail damselfly eating another damselfly.<\/p>\n
