Excellent, fun book

Thank you for encouraging me to continue to art at 68 and after a streoke.

A pleasant listen

Audio may seem like an odd format for an art book, but this is about the experience of being an artist. It’s kind, funny, honest, and encouraging.

This is what every artist early in their journey hopes to hear from the person we look to for advice.

I can see this being a book I come back again and again in my life to listen as I disappear into the flow of painting.

Thank you for this 😊

Really good!

Really good advice that anyone can do! It is also very motivating! An encouraging and insightful look into the good, the bad, and the ugly of art! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!!
