"keep a' goin'" Katherine Hepburn

This is one of my favorite quotes that has sustained me in the day to day creative process. This morning I found 2 four leaf clovers so I was on alert to what might happen in the day. Sometimes it is such a small idea that keeps me  producing art, and I may not notice. Today it was not subtle for once, I received a commission and more importantly the Al Smith Fellowship from the Kentucky Arts Council. This was my forth try, so I am especially pleased to receive this honor. To any one who wonders about sharing their gifts with the world; your art is needed, "keep a' goin'".
