Paint like a millionaire....

I like this. Just read it on my favorite art message board, Wet Canvas. It's a positive statement of my favorite artists' quote:

"Art can't be made by a poormouth."

(David Smith)

It's true that many of my artmaking (or artcensoring) fears have to do with wasting materials, wasting money, and ruining things. I grew up in a very careful, thrifty home. This was good for survival. Now that I've survived into adulthood, and want to make art full out, I need to be willing to believe that there's plenty of iron, plenty of paper, plenty of paint. In other words - stop poormouthing and make like a millionaire.
