“Every artist was first an amateur.”

To be an artist one has to find beauty in ordinary things. Find 10 things of great beauty in the landscape that surrounds you. For example, crumple sheets on your bed in the morning, the smell of coffee making its way around a busy office.

I love the smell of wet earth while cycling in the rain.

I love the way a dog plays with you while you think you're petting them.

I love coming out of the office to rain in the middle of summer

I love the way my legs wobble after a hard run or a hard workout

I love to let my mind wander and find the little nuggets of wisdom I've learned that day
