First episode

I loved listening to this conversation.
I had no experience in art but I did do a lot of music and it brought to mind the comparisons and experiences that built confidence as well as those that did the opposite. Your discussion also reminded me of being so taken by a Georgia O’Keeffe painting that I couldn’t stop staring at it and I seriously considered hiring an art student to paint me a copy😁. (this was before the days of cell phone cameras.) Anyway, thanks so much for stimulating my thoughts by sharing yours!
