The AP Studio thought for the day...
...just sayin'.

Beautiful line.

Fresh work created by artist
Cathleen Rehfeld

So my question is this - are you all looking at art?  Are you using your sketchbook every day?  Every other day?  How often?  Are you passionate about what you see and how you want to express it?  I found myself painting - oddly almost every day!  I saw work by an artist who paints very small (6 x 6") very fast (one hour each) paintings and they are amazingly fresh.  I was inspired.  What inspires you?

Beautiful work by artist Benjamin Cohen

Now THIS is painting...just a thought...

And don't any of you forget it...
