Can’t sleep. It’s been another productive, perfectly coordinated day (the worst kind). Had to get up and draw … spend a little time with myself. I’m seven small inches away from doing a Gauguin – quitting the bank and going to a small tropical island to unearth my soul in purely sensual pursuits. I think I’d take Baby with me though. And I don’t work at a bank. I used to amuse myself and exasperate my history of art teacher by saying “I could do that” every time he showed us Gauguin. One day he handed me a sketchbook and some colours and said “Okay, so go and do it.”
That was the 2nd best lesson I ever received.

What an awesome lesson to have been taught.
Is there an artist who chucked it all and moved to a small farm? Because I want to pull one of those.
Good idea. Get a really old one, then you and Marty can move in when they kick the bucket.
