"Full lasting is the song, though he, the singer, passes." (George Meredith)
"Esoterica: It's important for living artists to be constantly weeding.
Destroying substandard work is not only good for the heirs, it's good for the
artist: nothing worse than mediocrity in sight. Burning, while illegal in some
jurisdictions, is best. I do it quietly on cold, sentimental nights as a
ceremony of sacrifice in the fireplace. Further, a quick note in the will,
"Destroy all unsigned art," saves everybody a lot of trouble and anguish.
Remember, it's always nicer to enjoy a few brilliant friends than to endure a
crowd of dullards." Robert Glenn
A question was posed to Robert about Grandfathers art work after he passed.
As I age I ponder this question my self,famous or not, one should have written instructions for their art work as to how it will be handled upon death.After all the time,education,money love and tears, I wish not to be on the curb in a garage sale.
Esoterica comment validates my ceremonial evenings.
Over half way through January and my mind is going all over the place, to help organize my thoughts I have decided to create a safe place for myself and share my sketchbook, not feeling comfortable sharing this much on social media. And the weather in the 40s F , its very confusing and concerning to me...Next week will be below 0, does not help with stabilizing the mind... just going for the ride. I have neglected my website and at one point in December of 2024 I thought about deleting it. I looked at my FB and Insta and all the other social media apps that I belong to, I feel like they scream, maybe if a stopped scrolling and comparing myself to everyone there, that might help..."Note to Self" What is needed for me right now is more reflection and slow art. "Is that a thing? if not Im making it a thing" It seems the world has gone completely off the rails and taking me with it. So here I am reclaiming my sanity, "well that's debatable" I can hear...
