Today's Inspiration:
It is an ancient precept that the person who would be an artist must first learn to draw. Anyone who has ever wished to become an artist - who has taken those first faltering steps down the road to art - has begun with the desire to draw. It was the love of drawing that confirmed all those initial hopes. And through all the later aspirations as long as the creative drive flourished, the urge to draw never died.

Let us venture, speculatively, one last proposal. In all the World's art, the highest inspirations, the most lofty visual expressions center around the hand.
