“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” – Lyndon B. Johnson

After three weeks of slow progress, I am telling myself "never. give. up." The art world is a terrifyingly huge and unpredictable place. To be an artist is to take a gamble. But my greatest failure would be to never truly try. I may be moving like a snail, but even snails get where they want to go.

The pieces are coming together - not as anticipated. I'm anxious about melding the disparate bits into a whole. This is the risk of bringing imagination into reality. It's not always what you hope; but therein lies the excitement and challenge.
