Layby: how some of the best art collections in the world have been made.

I decided to accept as true my own thinking

September 10, 2020 in 2020

First day back to the studio after a week spent celebrating my 50th birthday. It was a beautiful magical excellent seven days. It seems entirely appropriate this morning that I post this quote by Georgia O’Keefe, which I keep on my studio wall.

I decided to accept as true my own thinking.

Now that I’ve spent five decades on this earth, it's more and more to myself I turn for what I think is beautiful, and for what I think is true.

I'm constantly inspired by the world and the people in it. The people I love are beside me always [in spirit when not in flesh]. I'm lucky enough to have mentors I look up to and learn from, both artistically and in business. But for decisions about action and direction, in my artwork and in life, the final word these days is always mine.

Hashtag took me long enough.
