Nancy on one of my Yahoo Zine boards sent this story about an artist! Priceless! I really think this puts our attempts into perspective...it is so simple...we as artists REALLY have to remember to practice...we can't do things perfectly the first time we try them...so lighten up!
A man went to an artist and told him he wanted to have a drawing of a rooster. The artist told him to come back in a month. When the man came back, the artist took a piece of paper and drew a rooster for him. The man exclaimed, "Why did you need a month when it took you about 15 seconds to draw that?" The artist said nothing, just opened a closet door. Inside were the thousands of drawings it took him to get the rooster just right.
