From my latest newsletter:

Art in tough times.

Like most of us, I never took notice of my parents when they told me to get a real job.

Art to me is the realest job, because you are actually forming something, creating something, and adding value to the world.

And anyway, I thought, any job can be lost, whereas, if you are an artist, nobody can ever stop you from working. You can be stopped from earning an income, but you can aways work.

Now it has happened. The times our parents worried about appear to be back. And what are we to do?

Maybe what Monet suggested, to paint as the bird sings.
