how to inspire confidence....



Pablo Picasso changed how we viewed art. He took chances. He was original. He constantly changed. He worked in series. He threw out all conventional ideas and created his own reality. He didn't care what people thought. When Picasso was a child his mother said to him,...
"If you be come a soldier you'll be a General. If you become a monk you'll end up as the Pope."
"Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso."....Pablo Picasso

His Mom sure knew how to inspire confidence.........

It took me awhile to get into it, but now I do like Picasso!

Yep, Picasso had confidence in spades! Brash and bold. My favorite t-shirt bears his signature, an illegal t-shirt production one year by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN. The Picasso family put a stop to it so now my Picasso t-shirt is a collectible!

I like some of his work, not all..., but true..., self confidence is a powerful thing.
