Patience and Patients





I adore the guy in the top right corner of the first page, the one with the belly. The teenager texting in the middle of the third page down is another favorite.

When I saw Sherrie McGraw recently, I told her about my struggles with my schedule, how hard it is to wait until my life opens up a bit more to let art making in. She told me to study my patients. "Painting is mostly about seeing", she said, and I have the best models of all right now, ones who would never sit for a drawing class.

It was funny because I thought she told me to study my patience. I know both are true...
