Erosion.

Beware of erosion in you Art career and life.
Erosion is being careless by doing a little less than you should each day.
A little less work.

A little more rest.
A little less effort.

A little more television.
A little less thought.

A little more neglect.
A little less trying in any area of your life will bring on failure, slowly, if done every day.
To begin with it will not seem to make a difference, but you only have to move the steering wheel of the car a fraction of an inch so that down the highway you will eventually run off the road and crash.
So in life, failure starts with just a little less effort, practised every day.
When you don't feel like painting and you know you deserve some time off, again?
Stop and think.
You will not get this day ever again in all your life, don't waste it.

Even if you paint a bad painting it is better than painting no painting at all and we do need to get all the bad paintings painted as well as the good ones.
Stop, think, work.
Erosion starts..... when you begin to do a little less, each day.

Failure comes when we repeat little small errors every day.
Make this day count for your future, put in more effort than you need to, you will never have the opportunity to live this day again, ever in your life, make every day a productive day for you.
