Willing AND able!

In life I believe it is very important to learn how to endure rejection, ridicule and embarrassment in pursuit of your dreams. Anyone who is anyone has had their share of humiliation and awkward faux pas. So the next time you do something stupid, just remember ~ all of your heros have had their share of them too! xo

. . . pondering picasso

Pablo Picasso has been one of my favorite artists  ever since I was a child. I distinctively remember the first time I saw his Petite Fleurs (below) when I was 7 years old and how wildly I reacted to it! In the countless art classes I took all through high school and college he was always my greatest inspiration ~ as he seemed to be able to work in every medium while maintaining his signature style. So recently when I came across this quote by him, "Good artists copy, great artists steal" it stuck in my mind, because I guess its kind of fun to wonder exactly what he meant by this. What's your interpretation?!
