As it's not been much of a creative week, I decided to take a photo of a sketch in my sketch book. I did this a while ago, but I just love the fact that when I did this, I wasn't worrying about the outcome, as it was after all, just a sketch.
I have just finished reading 'The Painter of Shanghai' which is based on a true story of the painter Pan Yuliang and how she transformed her life from being a prostitute to becoming a painter and how she challenged the culture of that era with her nude self portraits.
It was a fascinating read and at the end of the book there was a quote by Henri Matisse which I completely understood. The quote is:
Another word for creativity is courage
I completely agree.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy every precious moment xx
