What does it take to be creative? To create art despite objections, self-doubt, and procrastination? This book is for artists of all kinds, whether you are a professional artist, painting for fun, or thinking about art when you retire one day. I have collected ideas, thoughts, tips, and observations over the years and included them in this book. Some are practical and heartfelt, and others irreverent, but all are part of my journey. I hope you find a few useful nuggets amidst the other bits. This book would also make a lovely gift for artists.
