Recently I posted a video on YouTube that I recorded from a CBS This Morning show’s ‘Note To Self’. It is about the renowned artist Chuck Close. Chuck’s teachers told him in eighth grade not to even think of going to college, because of some of learning disabilities. His story is amazing and he offers very sound advice to all artists or anyone for that matter. I could write what he said, but I think it would be better to watch and listen to him as he speaks. It will have more meaning. Enjoy!
Thank you for posting this, Eva. I have loved Chuck Close's work for many years. It was truly profound listening to this man speak his truth. So much wisdom, so much heart. Thank you, again.

Hi Robin. I hoped that you would watch this as I remembered you commenting about a woman who questioned your encaustic technique. Chuck's advice was not to let anyone define what you are capable of. I am glad you didn't :O)
DeleteThanks for posting this ! wonderful inspiration.
