And in that honesty, we find the freedom to truly be ourselves. To make the kind of art we’ve always wanted to make. Meet Alex Kanevsky.

The artist’s journey (and the journey of life) can take many paths, but all of them are fueled by knowing self. Why do you notice what you notice? And what direction will that “why” take you when you discover the answer? Meet Philip Buller. I’ve followed his beautifully figurative work
- [Selling Your Art - Nicholas Wilton - Ep 71](https://www.art2life.com/2023/03/01/selling-your-art-nicholas-wilton-ep-71/) - It takes time to figure out what you love so much that you need to create it.

The reality is they are likely just as insecure as everyone else, but it doesn’t stop us from wishing we were like them. Then comparison starts us down a dangerous path of all the things we can’t be or

It’s Day 4 in Sayulita, Mexico and I can’t get enough of how visually and texturally rich this place is.

I’d say about half of the “aha moments” come from just sitting around and talking. You’re surrounded by all these artists from all over the world with a wealth of different skills and experiences and you get to glean from

You may need to think of it more broadly than you’ve typically done. The reason is this: being an artist encompasses all that you are, everything that makes up your personality, perspective, passions, and existence. You can see that being an artist is much bigger than

It is called Jnane Tamsna. Experiencing this place reminds me of 2 core ideas I teach artists to help make their art and, frankly, their life stronger: #1 Surround yourself with what brings you alive. #2 Never
- [Living Color in Marrakech / Nicholas Wilton - Ep 57](https://www.art2life.com/2022/11/23/living-color-in-marrakech-nicholas-wilton-ep-57/) - I believe that art making is about choices — choosing what you want to keep in and what you want to get rid of. What’s crazy, is that when you’re starting out on the creative path, those choices seem important and can be scary. There’s a lot of thought that goes into it because you

It seemed a long way to go, but what I found once I arrived made the journey worth it. I held the workshop in a gorgeous stone villa. There were old olive trees and the nights were so warm, starry, and still.

- [Making the Art of Light - Vanessa Marsh - Ep 55](https://www.art2life.com/2022/11/09/making-the-art-of-light-vanessa-marsh-ep-55/) - Authenticity is often present in strong, moving art. This ingredient is a given. But sometimes art can be even more significant in feel. It can be universal. I can’t always put my finger on how this occurs, but I can recognize it. The work feels bigger. It references far more than what is contained within
- [Feeling stuck in your art? It’s time to play.](https://www.art2life.com/2022/11/06/feeling-stuck-in-your-art-its-time-to-play/) - I’m in Morocco teaching an Art2Life Destination Workshop and we’re working outside! It’s so fun but also really hot. Luckily, we have a cold pool nearby for a..

Every artist I know already has, hard-wired within them, a pretty tough critic. I certainly do. So I never have been particularly drawn to listening to more of them. I know, of course, art criticism is essential

- [How to Embrace Our Artlife - Edward Povey - Ep 53](https://www.art2life.com/2022/10/26/how-to-embrace-our-artlife-edward-povey-ep-53/) - At the beginning of making something, the artist is the fixed, central point that everything is organized around. It seems it can't be any other way. You are a singular artist doing something, chasing something to make something new. Often it falls flat but sometimes, a few sneak through. A couple of them are good.

- [The Art of Reflection - Emilio Villalba - Ep 51](https://www.art2life.com/2022/10/12/the-art-of-reflection-emilio-villalba-ep-51/) - To grow artistically, especially in the beginning, we look out into the world at all the art made to help locate ourselves. If we are not yet sure where we are, it makes sense to look for art that reassures us. But it’s also confusing. At times it leaves us with that sinking feeling that
- [Intellect or Intuition?](https://www.art2life.com/2022/10/09/intellect-or-intuition/) - There's a common struggle in art-making involving opposites. There's the controlled approach — working precisely with intention, and the loose approach -when...

But what happens when life gets in the way? How do we overcome self-doubt and get back in the studio after a break? What happens when you’ve been out of your studio for weeks, and your gallery just decides to show

- [The Art of Memory - Bill Armstrong - Ep 49](https://www.art2life.com/2022/09/28/the-art-of-memory-bill-armstrong-ep-49/) - Why does a memory always seem a little blurry and slightly soft-edged when we look back in time? It feels like reality. It is familiar but oddly just beyond our grasp. Memories are places beyond the veil of presence that are wonderfully and not so easily defined. Just thinking about this notion begins to lift

- [Coming Home to Your Art - José Delhart Gonzalez - Ep 48](https://www.art2life.com/2022/09/21/coming-home-to-your-art-jose-delhart-gonzalez-ep-48/) - I used to think I couldn't make art because I didn't have some earth-shattering conceptual message. Or that somehow I hadn't struggled enough in my life to enter the world of fine art. It took way too long to realize I had meaningful thoughts and that I was just as eligible as anybody. Then, finally,

- [The Art of Curiosity - Jaq Chartier - Ep 47](https://www.art2life.com/2022/09/14/the-art-of-curiosity-jaq-chartier-ep-47/) - I'm always trying to take time in my practice to experiment. It's always about figuring out what it is, or where I might go next. When I do, it's so satisfying. It reinvigorates my art-making. I love the idea of letting curiosity lead the way. What if your art was entirely experimenting? What if learning
- [This Is Not Orange - Sun and Nicholas Wilton - Ep 46](https://www.art2life.com/2022/09/07/this-is-not-orange-sun-and-nicholas-wilton-ep-46/) - While on Day 3 of the Tour Du Mont Blanc (a 10-day hike around the largest mountain in Europe), I was struck with a question: How do you know orange is orange? What is color? How do we define it, and is it different for everyone? While pondering these big questions, I ran into a
- [Not Just Any Orange](https://www.art2life.com/2022/09/04/not-just-any-orange/) - Been thinking about the colors I use and noticed I tend to work with colors on either side of the standard colors. For instance, I never use a straight orange.
- [Figuration and Abstraction - Ian Kimmerly - Ep 45](https://www.art2life.com/2022/08/31/figuration-and-abstraction-ian-kimmerly-ep-45/) - I love talking to other artists about everything they’ve gathered from their life and then distilled into their art. This, in the most straightforward way, is what artists do. All the ingredients are different for each of us, but where one's art truly becomes singular has to do with the sensitivity and skill in juxtaposing

- [The Art Journey - Guy Diehl - Ep 42](https://www.art2life.com/2022/08/10/the-art-journey-guy-diehl-ep-42/) - The cool thing about making art is that even though we are mostly alone in our studios, we are not alone on the creative path. All of us are here, no matter what you make. There are people ahead of us, and always (regardless of when we begin), people behind us. We simply gain knowledge

It eventually got easier, but only sorta. The blessing and the curse of this art profession is that you never actually arrive. The more art I make, the less I realize I know. So improving over time and trying to be more attuned to whatever

Some say it’s one’s education or creative prowess. Others reserve that title for those who can make a living from their art. Yet, when we look at the nature of art and creativity, it feels so much bigger than the definition a single perspective can provide. Join
- [Don’t Think, Paint!](https://www.art2life.com/2022/07/24/dont-think-paint/) - As I’ve been working on these two paintings, I noticed that half the time I make a mark, it’s wrong - even when I’m trying. I wondered what would happen if I...

- [The Art of Flying - Daniel Wurtzel - Ep 38](https://www.art2life.com/2022/07/13/the-art-of-flying-daniel-wurtzel-ep-38/) - I love how the art-making journey can begin in the most unexpected, inconspicuous ways. Everyone’s origin story is different, but we all share the spark. That moment on what was most likely on an ordinary day, while doing seemingly unimportant things, where IT happened. A chance meeting with someone. The first paragraph of a book

- [The Wonder of Art - Josh Goldberg - Ep 37](https://www.art2life.com/2022/07/06/the-wonder-of-art-josh-goldberg-ep-37/) - Art-making doesn't have to look any particular way. Anything goes. What we make and how we make it is really of no importance except, of course, to the artist. There can be so much pressure to figure it all out. So it makes sense that most want to create some degree of certainty in this
- [Becoming More Alive - Brandi Stanley - Ep 36 ](https://www.art2life.com/2022/06/29/becoming-more-alive-brandi-stanely-ep-36/) - A good question can often provide more clarity than 1,000 answers, especially on the journey of a creative. But of all the questions, one stands out from all the rest. It is the question I follow in my art practice and the founding question of Art2Life.com, my online creative teaching platform. And it is this:
- [Food for the Soul](https://www.art2life.com/2022/06/26/food-for-the-soul/) - I was dashing to meet a friend for dinner recently and threw on some clothes I don’t usually wear. My friend was taken aback. “These clothes aren’t you!”...

I don’t feel particularly crazy busy in my life, which is usually the precursor to feeling uncreative. Actually everything feels pretty spacious. For me this is usually the set up for being creative. I know that if I
- [SENSITIVE CAMP](https://www.art2life.com/2013/11/14/sensitive-camp/) - I am wondering about why some people care so much about how things look. I know I do. I notice when things in my world don’t look too good generally they don’t work so well either. The thoughtlessness of design often crosses both appearance and utility. I see the outside color of cars that don’t
- [ANSWERING THE QUESTION](https://www.art2life.com/2013/11/07/answering-the-question/) - I am going back to my old high school as part of “career day” this week. There are some designers coming, an owner of an ice cream store and probably a few others, maybe a lawyer, perhaps even an astronaut, all assembled to talk about different careers. Everyone has advice to give people, especially to
- [SYNCHRONICITY](https://www.art2life.com/2013/10/30/synchronicity/) - Over the past few years, I have occasionally noticed how things line up - events or chance meetings with people occur that positively affect my life. Sometimes it almost feels too surprising to be just by chance. You might hear of something, then a friend tells you about it that very same day, and then
- [TRUST](https://www.art2life.com/2013/10/24/trust/) - I endeavor to stick to the subject of art in the context of this blog. However because my art is my life much muddling does occur between the personal and professional. To try to separate the two seems forced and frankly is just not my experience of how a career in art goes. Maybe that
- [THE DENTIST KIND OF ART](https://www.art2life.com/2013/10/17/the-dentist-kind-of-art/) - Today I was in the dentist’s office again for a major intervention. Next to me was one of those paintings that seem to always be in a dentist’s office. What is this about? We all know the kind of art. At least I think I do? I recognize it. It is easy to look at
- [FEAR AND RISK](https://www.art2life.com/2013/10/03/fear-and-risk/) - Fear is always circling around in the background of many of the difficult decisions we make, especially in the creative areas of our lives. Whether you are finally ready to put the time aside to make your art for the first time or simply making the decision to paint everything out and start again, a
- [ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING](https://www.art2life.com/2013/09/25/accomplishing-nothing/) - The other day I spent about 4 hours painting and in the end I felt like I didn’t achieve anything. I went around in circles. I was thinking of so many other things, I couldn’t really drop into it. Of course I know that everyone goes in and out of being focused and productive. I
- [ORNAMENTAL](https://www.art2life.com/2013/09/19/ornament/) - My mother amazes me. She is tireless and wonderfully feisty. She still lives in the rambling house on an overgrown acre of land that I grew up on. She has an electric chainsaw she uses to cut down trees. She does heavy yard work in her isotoner slippers. Every year to clean the moss off
- [NOTHING BUT MONEY IN ART](https://www.art2life.com/2013/09/10/nothing-but-money-in-art/) - When I was growing up my father owned an advertising agency. As a result he was always involved in something creative. I loved this. I remember sitting on top of the kitchen table as he used those smelly, toxic ( I still LOVE that smell, do you know the one?) felt pens to design logos
- [IMPROVING OUR ART](https://www.art2life.com/2013/08/05/improving-our-art/) - How do we improve our art? I definitely subscribe to the 10,000 hours of hard work idea. This rule originally proposed in Malcolm Gladwell's NY Times bestselling book "Outliers, The Story of Success" suggests that only by practicing 10,000 hours at a specific task you are able to become successful at whatever it is your
- [WAITING FOR ANSWERS](https://www.art2life.com/2013/08/01/waiting-for-answers/) - Today I was working on a large painting. It was mostly white and had tiny black square shapes all over it. It reminded me of a snowy landscape. I was feeling kind of lost, almost as if I was wandering in this enormous white field with black stumps where trees once were. It just felt
- [THE VACATION IN ART](https://www.art2life.com/2013/07/23/the-vacation-in-art/) - I love the quote by the philosopher, poet David Whyte..."Visitation, absence, visitation, absence this is how we learn" This totally rings true for me. When I come back to work on a painting the following day I have about 45 minutes of objectivity. Things seem more clear and fresh. Then I tend to slow down. After about
- [WORLD DOMINATION SUMMIT](https://www.art2life.com/2013/07/18/world-domination-summit/) - I just returned from Chris Guillenbaum's World Domination Summit in Portland Oregon. The conference was especially remarkable because of this year's speakers. I especially was moved by Nancy Duarte visually mapping out the worlds greatest speeches, Jia Jiang talking about rejection, and Danielle La Porte firing up the audience with her search for Desire. This is a remarkable conference that seems to attract super creative people
- [ORIGINALITY](https://www.art2life.com/2013/07/11/originality/) - When I was a in high school I took a stained glass class at a local art store. The first project was to make a Tiffany style lampshade. The pattern was basically a pansy repeating floral motif. The instructions said that I could choose any color of glass I wanted. Seeing as how I was
- [RED WHITE AND BLUE. AGAIN.](https://www.art2life.com/2013/07/04/red-white-and-blue-again/) - It is July fourth and it just makes me think of red white and blue. This color combination is one of the only ones I don't particularly like. I don’t exactly know why. I think it's because this color combination is no longer available to mean anything other than the USA. If I want that
- [MAKING MISTAKES](https://www.art2life.com/2013/07/02/making-mistakes/) - Lately I have been noticing that much of the head space I need to be in while making my art is one that is comfortable with making mistakes. The search that goes into making art is an essential ingredient. Work that is born out of plenty of mistakes and corrections, at least in my experience,
- [BLUE](https://www.art2life.com/2013/06/27/blue/) - I don’t know what to write about. I am not sure what to paint. When I feel this way I just admit it and sit here... And wait. OK, what am I feeling? There must be something? I feel emptiness. Openness perhaps. Surely that feels better than emptiness. What feels open? When I think of
- [RECONCILIATION](https://www.art2life.com/2013/06/24/reconciliation/) - I just came across a painting I made about 25 years ago. It was an assignment I did in school. The teacher handed out fortune cookies and after we all ate them we were supposed to create a picture that communicated the fortune that was inside. Mine was a reminder of how in times of great
- [A BIRD IN HAND](https://www.art2life.com/2013/06/20/a-bird-in-hand/) - About 10 years ago I had an art show in Santa Fe. The gallery decided to take an ad out in Art News magazine to publicize the show. I thought long and hard about which painting I wanted in the ad as I knew that the whole show was riding on the this single image.
- [THE NATURE OF ART](https://www.art2life.com/2013/06/17/the-nature-of-art/) - Art is a reflection of who you are. This makes it both compelling and at the same time kind of nauseating. Although most people, and I am certainly in this camp, find the subject of themselves pretty interesting. If you ever don’t know what to say to someone, my Father always said, just ask them an
- [CLARITY](https://www.art2life.com/2013/06/13/clarity/) - There is something amazing that happens when you become clear about what you want... You often get it. Sometimes it's hard to discern this phenomenon in life. So many things are happening at once that it becomes difficult to remember why something shifts. Perhaps years later you realize that things did turn out in a
- [THE ARTIST'S DILEMMA](https://www.art2life.com/2013/06/10/the-artists-dilemma/) - In most businesses, you are trying to sell something to someone. The more perfected your offering becomes, the more it is wanted and so, the more you are supposedly able to sell. This is how business works. But not Fine Art. It has a peculiar way of reacting to the commercialization of itself. “Successful” commercialization
- [SPRING TIME](https://www.art2life.com/2013/06/06/spring-time/) - What is it about spring that wakes us up? I love this picture. It was taken last week in Vermont and it is my daughter who is impatiently waiting for me to run up and join her on this gorgeous hilltop in Vermont. It feels like a time of possibility. Invitation. The time is now.
- [INDECISION](https://www.art2life.com/2013/06/04/indecision/) - I just received this interesting blog post on indecision by Jonathon Fields that I found totally illuminating. The idea here is that trying so hard to decide and figure out whether “A” or “B” is better, can sometimes overshadow a third option which is choosing neither one by simply postponing-basically ending up in possibly the
- [How Creative Expression Improves Your Health](https://www.art2life.com/2013/05/07/how-creative-expression-improves-your-health/) - When I get super busy, one of the first things to go is my exercise regime. I usually try and run or do a cross fit workout before I even get to the studio. The thinking goes that I will be in a better frame of mind and therefore will be able to make stronger
- [The New Cool Thing at School](https://www.art2life.com/2013/04/24/the-new-cool-thing-at-school/) - I recently was visiting the Mountain School in upstate Vermont. This is a program for students in their junior year of high school. The school offers its 45 students the experience of working and living on a fully functioning farm. There are goats, sheep, llamas, maple tree sap harvesting, greenhouses, collective meal making, shared chores
- [Objectivity or Not](https://www.art2life.com/2013/03/30/objectivity-or-not/) - I have been very busy the past few months preparing new work for my first show in NYC in May. I tried to finish a bulk of the work before letting the gallery see it, as I don’t like too much influence. I also don’t entirely know what I am doing or where I am
- [OBJECTIVITY](https://www.art2life.com/2013/03/30/objectivity/) - I have been very busy the past few months preparing new work for my first show in NYC in May. I tried to finish a bulk of the work before letting the gallery see it, as I don’t like too much influence. I also don’t entirely know what I am doing or where I am
- [The Language Within Art](https://www.art2life.com/2013/03/21/the-language-within-art/) - One of my mentor clients asked an interesting question the other day. It had to do with how an artist develops a personal visual vocabulary. We all recognize or know artist’s work that already has this occurring. In fact this is one of the reasons why we recognize it as mature and authentic. The language
- [Wrong.Again.](https://www.art2life.com/2013/03/21/wrong-again/) - Yesterday I spent part of my day painting large shapes in a painting I thought I was improving. I chose a color that I thought was appropriate and worked. I went to lunch and when I came back and looked at the painting I couldn't believe that the color I had chosen was so hideous.

- [Talented or Not?](https://www.art2life.com/2013/02/18/talented-or-not-2/) - This morning was the first day of a new workshop at Esalen.

- [Quietly flying](https://www.art2life.com/2013/02/07/quietly-flying/) - The upside and the downside of making art or being creative is that over time it seems to make you more sensitive to your environment.

- [Sometimes walk away.](https://www.art2life.com/2013/02/04/sometimes-walk-away/) - I have noticed an interesting thing about how I learn and how I improve my art. I used to think that the MORE time I spent painting-actually physically working hard was in direct proportion to how much MORE I learned and improved my work. Working hard is something I have forced myself to get good
- [TALENTED OR NOT?](https://www.art2life.com/2013/01/31/talented-or-not/) - This morning was the first day of a new workshop at Esalen.

- [It Takes A Village](https://www.art2life.com/2013/01/30/it-takes-a-village/) - Why is it easier to attempt challenging things when you are part of a group? This morning I arrived for a Crossfit class http://tjsgym.com/and walked in on the end of the previous 5:15 am class. I stood there half awake wondering two things.

- [Mistaken Paths](https://www.art2life.com/2013/01/28/mistaken-paths-2/) - How much do we influence each? When does influence become copying? These are all questions that all artists have to answer for themselves. If we are honest, we can all say, that at certain times we have copied others work. Nobody wants to admit this-it is so much better to be totally original. But can

- [Starting Again](https://www.art2life.com/2013/01/08/starting-again/) - Why is it so hard, after a break, to start working again? I always feel resistance. Several times during the Xmas break I came into the studio and, after working so hard here for months, I was surprised to feel how foreign it all felt. There was my table with all the used up paints
- [Best Made Plans](https://www.art2life.com/2013/01/04/best-made-plans/) - Sometimes what I set out to make does not end up being what I make. I might have a clear idea of what I want, but somewhere along the way I change my mind or something comes along that is far more interesting that my original idea. This seems to be happening more and more
- [New Years Day Letter](https://www.art2life.com/2013/01/01/new-years-day-letter/) - This is a small painting 12" x 12" I made as a demonstration painting during the last workshop taught at Esalen, CA. All the paintings we work on are always done on this great size of 12" x 12". We use 1/4 Birch ply primed with gesso which makes a great durable surface. Perfect for
- [Memories in Stones](https://www.art2life.com/2012/08/08/900/) - Pavel Stransky, 91, uses the metaphor of a balance scale to describe his life. One side is filled with darkness and bitter sadness while the other is filled with lighter moments, love and forgiveness. When I asked him which side weighed more he softly said the darker side.

- [](https://www.art2life.com/2012/06/30/902/) - Pollencia, Mallorca, Spain The walls of this town are so beautiful. Walking through the narrow streets I had to wonder how just the passage of time could create such amazing surfaces. But it is not just the patina of Time. There is also something else, although it took me awhile to realize it. The other

- [What makes us feel alive?](https://www.art2life.com/2011/11/08/what-makes-us-feel-alive/) - I often try and think about what makes someone connect with a work of art. What is it that stops us in our tracks and makes us reconsider, even in a small way, how we see the world or feel about it? Sometimes this happens when we see a work of art, read a great

I figured

- ["Separation"](https://www.art2life.com/2011/01/23/separation/) - I just saw the work of an artist friend of mine, Carrie Leeb, at Ampersand, a small gallery in San Francisco. One of the more interesting pieces in the show was, for me "Seperation" a found rock installation. It is not really apparent from this photo (taken with an iphone no less) the actual scale

The paint organizer shown below is a very helpful tool for the studio that I now cannot imagine being without. Basically it is
- [Potency of Place](https://www.art2life.com/2010/12/09/potency-of-place/) - I came across this abandoned farmhouse in Point Reyes, Ca. This incredibly beautiful area is bordered on 3 sides by the sea and Tomales Bay and is now a national park. Coast Miwok Indians lived here for Milllennia, and then in the 1850's immigrant dairy farmers arrived by boat from Switzerland, Denmark and the Portuguese
- [Parts are Excellent](https://www.art2life.com/2010/10/23/parts-are-excellent/) - As I was putting together another email announcement of a show the other day I was thinking about how, depending on my feeling about my work at the time, this process can be easy or rather hard. I am not sure if most everyone understands that part of the process of making things, creating things
- [Color in Nature](https://www.art2life.com/2010/10/19/color-in-nature/) - These photographs by Chris Jordan were taken on Midway Atoll in the middle of the North Pacific.

It was especially nice to not be painting up to the last minute - sending paintings barely dry. It also provided me with a fresh view of
- [Standing Still](https://www.art2life.com/2010/08/10/standing-still/) - What is it about leaving your life for awhile, that makes everything seem so different, but the same upon your return? is it possible that just changing your background, your surroundings that shifts everything? When I am traveling I feel so artistically fulfilled and perfectly content to just look at things...To learn about new places,

They lived very simply underneath an immense limestone overhang. Upon the walls were very old paintings. The seasonal rains had worn down the paint creating this beautiful surface -part stone, part paint. The monks

Last night we walked down the beach and came to this huge stretch of beach that looked like someone had made hundreds of abstract drawings all over the beach. It turned out that it was actually a small neighborhood of burrowing crabs that were simply rolling up balls of
- [Promotion](https://www.art2life.com/2010/07/04/promotion/) - So often Ads in magazines for shows or announcements fall short- either the color or the design is off or sometimes the opposing page has some disastrous image on it that clashes with your own work. I was very impressed with this ad that The Costello Childs Gallery http://www.costellochildsart.com/index.html is running in the new magazine

She purchased it from a friend who purchased it many years ago in San Francisco. I guess these were used to carry cheese before cellophane was invented or even cars for that matter...She just had to show
- [Studio](https://www.art2life.com/2010/04/07/studio/) - I took this about a week ago and it's fun to see how much I have already changed these paintings. Some are done now.

- [Ritter Center House Finished](https://www.art2life.com/2010/01/29/ritter-center-house-finished/) - I finished it. I was happy that there was only 3 sides and not 4. Painting a house is,well, like painting a house...there is a lot of space on the outside of a house!...I am happy that the figure feels like the house and to me really adds something dynamic to the shape.

- [Rooftop Man](https://www.art2life.com/2010/01/26/rooftop-man/) - After I got the figure more defined I ran into a little problem with the hand held disc sander I started with..I couldn't define any details and it wasn't allowing me to carve as carefully as I needed. I called up Joe Brubaker Joe Brubaker - Sculpture a sculptor who also is in Donna Seager's

- [Carving the Man](https://www.art2life.com/2010/01/06/carving-the-man/) - My neighbor gave me this huge chunk of mahogany. I cut out the general shape of the figure and now I am trying to refine it. It's interesting to just be removing and not being able to add anything back on...sculpture is like that--just take away all the parts that don't belong and then you

Outside my living room window is a huge kiwi vine that I planted several years ago. The wind blows and the branches of this plant are always waving at
- [Delivery Guys](https://www.art2life.com/2009/11/20/delivery-guys/) - One of the hard parts, for me anyway, about being an artist is all the time alone. I can get busy and not leave the house for several days. Things start to become weird after about a day and a half... sooner if I don't change out of my pajamas till lunch...but why bother dressing
