I’m always reminding Eric that he is, in deed, an artist! He sees himself as a laborer and a craftsman. I think he’s slowly starting to understand what an artist is! Below is one of my favorite quotes, from St. Francis of Assisi, that I thought I’d share. I relay the same sentiment to Eric frequently that this is him, the artist!
In case you’re wondering what I am? I’m a lazy artist. I may work with my hands but whether I use my head is questionable and I’m seriously no laborer—way too lazy!
Hey Lynne, that’s the same quote I’ve had on my website and blog for about a year now! My dad was a great one to constantly tell me to call myself “an artist, cuz it makes you sound more interesting.” Love it, as you do and my dad did.
Great minds think alike, Cathryn! Great minds think alike.
If an artist works also with his heart than Eric & you are both artists.
Very proud of you of you both, especially you Eric.
Thanks Joanne! I’ll pass your message onto Eric.
I don’t know how anyone could see Eric, any other way other than a true Artist. I surely do love his work and it is truely artistic. I love you both.
Thanks so much Marty! I’ll forward your message to Eric.
