invading my mind

I've become obsessed with sweets and pastries - I blame it on the Cornell biography I've been reading. Yesterday I ate a brownie, cherry danish, ginger ale & frosty. His biography keeps mentioning that many of his diary entries are nothing more than notations of the sweet snacks he ate.

I love that he genuinely loved his own art and created for creations sake. Accolades and gallery shows were only an added bonus and when requested to create pieces for shows at prestigious museums he would turn them down because then his creations would no longer be his art but just plain "work". Though fickle and flawed he was still true to himself.
