It Takes Audacity
Painting as a Pastime by Churchill
He not only saved us from Hitler but he could both write and paint.
There's a lot of encouragement in this little book for the sometime, late-starting artist. Churchill himself started in 1915 when he found himself temporarily out of a job. It gave his restless mind something to do and he found he could do it.
The book is full of advise for busy people, for older people particularly
" .... if... you are inclined-late in life though it be- to reconnoitre a a foreign sphere of limitless extent, then be persuaded that the first quality that is needed is Audacity..."
In other words, jump in the deep end-just do it. Be brave, be foolhardy, if you like.
No one will get killed. Have fun. And, who knows, you might produce a work of art ot two- as Churchill did. Inspirational
