Art & fear

Recently, in another thread, Chris Saper mentioned a book:

Art & fear - Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of ARTMAKING by David Bayles & Ted Orland - IMAGE CONTINUUM PRESS $12.95.

I bought the book locally (had to be ordered). This book is very, very insightful. The title says it all. It is a fairly small quick read. There are so many hard truths in this book. I give it . Many quotable things in this book, I will share one of my favorites:

"Artists don't get down to work until the pain of working is exceeded by the pain of not working" Stephen DeStaebler.
