The other day, I went into my art professor's office/studio with my other art class (not the one he teaches). He was taking a break from working on a portrait and answered questions that people had. I hate to admit that I was spacing out, but it was in a good way, I promise. I learned a lot just by looking around the room. There were a couple amazing portraits, half-used bottles of paint, a bulletin board full of pictures from artists that inspired him, etc. Among all this decor, there was one thing that stood out to me. On his whiteboard, in the handwriting of a six-year-old, said the words "Work hard with heart" signed with the name of his daughter. Later that day, he was helping me work on my project and after about 15 minutes of feverishly sketching on my paper, he handed my back my pencil and laughed while he said, "Sorry, it's hard for me to stop once I start."
His excitement for what he does makes me excited! I want to find something that I can't pull myself away from at the end of the day, something that I can work hard at with heart. I don't think I can settle for anything less now...--Shae
