Day 14. If it’s not hard, you aren’t doing it right.
“Memory Lane” 9×12, oil on paper I’m taking a break from good advice to entertain some bad– I told ya’ll I took notes. I think Coach Bennett’s version was something like, “If you aren’t running hard, you’re hardly running.” I’m thinking of all those quotes we attribute to various writers, usually Hemingway, about sitting […]

Day 12. My own best coach.
“Adventurer” 9×12, oil on paper I opened my running app just to see if there were any new ones in the mix that I hadn’t done yet. Guess what popped up? The Worst Advice ever run, a lovely companion to the Best Advice Ever run that I’ve been applying to my 31 in 31. […]

Go to games– high school, college, rec, professional. […]
Day 10: Become a better artist, become a better painter
“Keep Going” 9×12, oil on paper Become a better athlete, become a better runner. That was one of the pieces of advice in the “best advice ever run.” Coach Bennett explained that so many runners he talks to say they only run. No weights, no yoga, no swimming, no biking. None of the things that […]
Day 9. Painting makes you a painter.
“Play the Pauses” 6×6, oil on canvas The next note from the “best advice ever” guided run with Coach Bennett was this: “Running makes you a runner, you don’t have to run everyday to be a runner everyday.” Let’s try it another way. Painting makes you a painter. You don’t have to paint everyday to […]
Day 8. This is about art. This is also not about art.
Day 7: Don’t worry, I’ll get there. Eventually
