the need for CHEESE

I had emergency ravioli last weekend.  Well, I had emergency oral surgery.  It was every bit as awful as that sounds, but necessary.  Since my husband & son both have Celiac disease, so true Italian pasta deliciousness is an uncommon sight in my house.  But after all the soup and oatmeal I could stand, I was craving comfort food that wouldn’t make me hate life later.  I tried everything in my house, one after the other, foods were too hot, too cold, to crunchy, too crispy, too bland, too sticky.  And then there was delivery cheese ravioli.  It was like the clouds parted. Divine.

If only all such persistence paid dividends, right?  Sometime persistence in art leads to over-working.  I’ve put a lot of holes in a lot of paper, and even a few canvases, over the years. The outcome of political persistence has varied over the years from victory parties to concession speeches, rallies to protests, elections to resignation.  What drives your artist persistence? What is the benchmark you trying to pass or surpass? Is it a resume qualifier?  Is it a sales or publication goal? Is it a signature body of work or finding your voice?  It is all of those things for me, but somewhere tied up in all of those things is belief in my own legitimacy as an artist.  Again, what drives your artist persistence?
