Thoughts

Yesterday I sat down in my studio and picked up one of my favorite books, New York Hispanic museum's Joaquin Sorolla Catalogue.  I intended to spend a few minutes getting inspired and then move to my easel and do some painting.  As has happened many times before, though, I got hooked on the book and never made it to my easel.  It's easy to do, especially with Sorolla.  My emotions were mixed afterwards.  When I see the paintings of a real artist, I realize how low a mark on the art scale my own work attains. On the other hand, I do have a lot of fun.  Tomorrow, a masterpiece!!!              Mike
