"After reading ( in the ACT featured artist section) about Toronto artist Gary Smith, I felt compelled. His advice to artists resonated with me. Gary said to “Decide how much time you want to paint and then figure out how to do that rather than looking for what spare time might be available.”
I immediately took another look at my schedule, re-prioritized some things and found 8 more hours to paint in my schedule. Having been on the tele-call yesterday and then reading Gary’s advice, I am starting the week off on better footing. Regards, Toni Ruppert"
