Enough is Enough

Your life can change. You can change. Things do not have to be the way they have always been. But as you well know, as long as you keep believing and saying what you’ve always believed and said, you will continue to have what you’ve always had. “Nothing is going to change until something changes.”

Visualizing the Completed Work

When I was young, there was a time when I thought I would like to be an artist. In pursuit of this, I enrolled in and attended one of the nation’s premier art institutes. On the first day of my oil painting class, the instructor gave what he felt was his most important guideline and

Imagine That
